I am now in Patagonia, Argentina in the last weeks of the Cycling the Americas expedition. By the time I reach Ushuaia I will have been on the go for about nine months. The last few months cycling through South America and the climb (on foot) of Aconcagua (6963m) have kept me from blogging here as I concentrated on the BBC filming and online story at bbc.co.uk/cyclingtheamericas. However, keep checking back regularly from now on as I will soon be back in the UK and 2010 is looking like a busy year…
I have just heard that my first book ‘The Man Who Cycled the World’ was the second best selling cycling book of 2009, pipped only by Lance Armstrong. I am delighted that it continues to be so well received – I loved writing it. In March it will be coming out in paperback and then in the USA at a later date TBC.
I plan to be back in the UK late February, and then will be on a nation wide talk tour from mid-March to mid-May. This will be at 37 venues and involve an evening of my films, photography and stories. I am really looking forwards to exploring the UK like this and meeting so many people. Great to hear that venues are already selling fast – check back soon for all the details to see if I will be coming to a theatre that you can reach.
Will write more soon but for now there are still thousands of miles to cycle! Having just climbed the highest mountain in the Western hemisphere, my cycling legs are feeling the burn!
