In “50 Quirky Bike Rides”, author Rob Ainsley gives light-hearted descriptions of 50 unusual, offbeat cycle rides around England and Wales. There are rides for all skill levels and all moods, from family fun to extreme terrain - and probably both together! Rides are described in detail, outlining the main route with plenty of local detail, history, activities and atmosphere given, and suggested variations.
