Overview

Le Great British Tour de Cake is a series of 25 bike rides around the quiet country lanes of West Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Wiltshire. Designed for chatty cyclists, groups of friends, families and with specific ones for children the focus is on enjoyment, rather than endurance. Each ride features the very best independent coffee and cake stops that our beautiful villages have to offer. From cheese toasties in barns to cakes in thatched cottages - it is the most comprehensive guide you'll find to the region's perfect pitstops. Plus. It is funny. And quite unlike any other guide book you will ever have read.

Reviews

'The least-serious cycling book I've ever read. But weirdly, with a lot of good cycling in it'. 'Where else would you find a book about cycling that includes Lycra show tunes, two ducks named Michelle and Roux and an essay on drying concrete? Answer: nowhere. But that's Heth all over, she goes to places you rarely expect her to'. 'I laughed out loud. Frequently' 'Even if you couldn't give a stuff about cycling just buy this for the cake. And then please buy another 20 copies to give to your friends' (from Heth, the author)

Author Information

Heth Miller is a deeply average cyclist and even more dubious writer. What she lacks in skill she makes up for in sheer enthusiasm. She has cycled the length of South Korea (slowly), around Transylvania (dangerously), from tip to toe of the Outer Hebrides (soaked to the skin) as well as all over West Berks, Oxfordshire, Wiltshire and a load of other UK counties (Yorkshire was windy). She is a West Berks Bikeability instructor.
