Inhaltsangabe

What would happen if your definition of adventure meant cycling solo from one end of Britain to the other?

Richard Warrick did just that. A thousand-mile one-way trip from Land’s End to John o’ Groats. Not as a honed athlete, you understand, but as a middle-aged, apprehensive, would-be adventurer.

From terrifying dual carriageway encounters, battering storms, and crippling loneliness, his story also captures moments of sheer joy, breathtaking landscapes, and forgotten histories. All whilst a cacophony of restless voices fought for prominence in his head.

This is Richard’s personal love letter to this wondrous isle; a love fuelled by curiosity and exploration.

An unbreakable connection carved from blood, sweat, and fears.

“. . .if you are looking for a genuinely entertaining read that’s informative, sad and funny at times where you end up rooting for the main character to complete the ride then Restless Lanes is the book you should read.” UK Gravel Collective
