Q1. Has anyone else read this book.
Based on well kept diaries of Charles Pope and covering his epic rides 1924-33.
WoW.....can you imagine cycling uk roads with virtually no traffic.
Only just started it but it looks interesting.
Q2. It says he rode a Merlin bike. When I google Merlin the only reference is from mid 90s......a company that started in Chorley.
@PaulSB ......you may know of the modern one.
