Dave Gorman's cycle tour

[Kirstie]

Today we spent 68 miles with Dave Gorman, guiding him from Leicester to Stoke on his utterly bonkers tour of Britain. The tour is 32 days long, he's not taking any rest days, and he's going from lizard point - lowestoft - ardnamurchan - dunnet head, doing a 2.5 hr stand up show every night on top of it all! And he's blogging about it too. Give the man a medal! What a star!

Anyhoo, CC'er PatrickPending was his guide yesterday from Peterborough - Leicester, and thanks to Hilldodger being incommunicado for today's ride we got the job of guiding today at the end of his show in Leicester last night (my face still aches from laughing it was so funny).

We had great weather, Dave was top company, and appears to be indestructible on a bike too.

All is well with the world

Sounds cool. I've always liked the guy, he does interesting stuff.

i like him, he's a good watch and read. i hope you steered him in the direction of this place…

 

[Kirstie]

Yes I mentioned it!

His road trip across the U.S. was a fantastic bit of t.v. but I have to admit I've not read a great deal of his work. Any recommendations?

Sounds interesting Kirstie, I haven't seen him or read anything by him but he sounds like a good egg.

Hi Dave just in case

@lardyboy America Unchained is his book of the US tour, v good by all accounts.

Ta K. Next time I'm in Borders or Waterstones I shall seek some of his work out.

I wasn't quite so impressed - my full thoughts are here...

ill second this did the Peterborough to Leicester stint myself - was great (although I did get a bit lost in Pboro - never been there before - thats my excuse). Yep DAve is indeed great cycling company and I am in awe of the cycle challange he's undertaking......

I'm off to The Lowry to see him tonight, so hopefully his "human sat-nav" hasn't steered him astray

I think he's a funny guy too, didn't you manage to persuade him to join the CC forum btw?

He sounds like a very busy man, but maybe he'll take a look.
