Publisher's Synopsis
It all started with a bike ride. How does one man's solo journey from Paris become an event which has lasted nearly four decades and raised money for over 500 good causes. Pete McQuade, founder of the Paris to Hayling Cycle Ride, brings to life the stories and personalities that turned his first pedal from Paris into the UK's longest-running long-distance charity cycling event. This moving and inspirational tale recounts friendships made, adventures shared, and the trials overcome by a group of lively and lovable characters who have taken part in a cycling event like no other and which for many has proved truly life changing.
