The Road to Steeple Bumpstead: Two Amateurs Cycle Across England

Two optimistic cyclists ignore their lack of training and inadequate levels of fitness to embark on a journey of unimaginably mediocre proportions: from Ipswich to Chipping Norton by bicycle.

This is a 150 mile journey of discovery, in which our heroes plumb the depths of conversational monotony, discover the secrets of life in Saffron Walden, narrowly avoid being eaten by lions and come across a wonderful place called Steeple Bumpstead.

The Road to Steeple Bumpstead is Marcus Rowe's debut foray into the world of being an author. It is sure to leave you laughing uncontrollable fits of belly laughter at his observations of everyday life.
