About this listen

 Award-winning author Steven Herrick journeys across south-western France from the Atlantic Ocean to the Mediterranean Sea on a bicycle, following the canals and rivers and sampling the delights of the region. Accompanied by his wife, Cathie and their two hardy bikes christened Jenny and Craig, this is a whimsical adventure beside the iconic Canal des deux Mers, through small villages and along quiet back roads. Spending almost as much time in restaurants and cafes as in the saddle, the author explores the pleasures and pathways of a region renown for history, food and wine and natural wonders. From croissants, cake and confit de canard to bordeaux, beer and bicycles, Steven Herrick never loses sight of his life’s mantra, ‘cycling is just an interlude between meals.’ The author also tackles some of the legendary mountain climbs of the Pyrenees including Col du Tourmalet and Col d’Aubisque, in search of cycling heaven ... and a perfect excuse to eat more cheese. ‘bordeaux and bicycles’ is a canal adventure, a restaurant safari and a handbook for those who enjoy slow food, easy cycling and grassroots travel. REVIEWS for 'bordeaux and bicycles': 'This book would be great for the armchair traveller and food lover, but will also leave the amateur cyclist thinking about stretching their lycra and having a real cycling adventure. I've got my map out already.' Amazon.co.uk review 'I really enjoyed being transported back to one of my favourite countries, France and the author makes you feel you are there. It is a gentle and humorous book and I look forward to his next adventure!' Amazon.co.uk review 'An enjoyable read. Herrick writes with humour and affection about the people he meets and the countryside through which he travels. The pace is leisurely and the emphasis is on slow food and quiet back roads. I was very impressed with the final chapters where the author successfully attempts to cycle up a few Pyrenees mountains.' Amazon.com review 'I felt like I was on a bike with him on this trip!'
