Cycling to the Ashes (Oli Broom)

Oli Broom
Cycling to the Ashes



A straightforward tale of cycling from London to Australia with a lot of cricketing on the way. Fairly readable although faintly irritating especially as firstly you wonder why he's putting himself through so much misery, second he's not just jumped on a bike Oli's got a lot of sponsors presumably through contacts probably through his well off parents and third he keeps on going on about pretty girls in a pretty creepy way. I nearly put it down but hate doing that and it's not too long or taxing to read. I picked it up from a Herne Hill Velodrome rummage sale and think it's signed.
