Just arrived home after a weekend visiting friends back in my old life in Reading… and discovered these items of great beauty on the doorstep. They have been sent by Laurence King Publishing and are very nice indeed; The Cyclist’s Bucket List, A Road Bike Journal andย Le Tour Race Log.ย They’d make great presents for a cycling fan who loves his / her notebooks…
The Cyclist’s Bucket List:
“The ultimateย road cyclists bucket list!

Le Tour Race Log:
“Keep track of every stage of the world’s most famous road race with this illustrated journal.
This is a complete guide to every aspect of Le Tour, from who wears the polka-dot jersey and why the route changes each year, to how team tactics work and what the riders eat and wear on the road. There is also every opportunity for you to record each day’s activities, including the details of each stage, who wins each of the day’s competitions, and who is in the yellow jersey.
