Tour De Ireland (a Cycling Fan's Ride Around Ireland)

Tour de Ireland (A cycling fan's ride around Ireland) is the story of a cyclist's return to his native country. It is an attempt to re-engage with home and re-discover the ancient land of saints and scholars that is Ireland. The journey, which takes place during the 2012 Tour de France, is also an engagement with the sport of cycling both past and present. This is by no means a book solely for the cyclist. Lovers of travel, history, adventure and sport will enjoy this book. It is informative, perceptive and very funny.
