Excellent book for those people riding bike on long hawls or thinking about it. Very easy to read and understand. 3 parts, practicalities, continental route outlines and tales from the saddle were easy to flow through. Will be keeping this book as a referance as it does have an easy go to index at the back at the book.
Enjoy the ride. (be prepared, get this book)
