Just finished it! The thread was terrific [...] but it was nice to read this in a paper format. A lovely writing style where the book almost reads itself.
Thank you. I'm very glad you enjoyed it. Cheers for posting back on this. Its a lovely thing to come back to on the first day of work after the Easter break.

have you been approached by any agents yet, wanting to represent you and make you a best seller?
LOL. Its already a best seller. Well,
my best seller anyway.
Which is to say, this has already shifted more copies than anything else I've published. Or more accurately, there's nothing else I've published that has sold more copies. Or more succinctly, there's nothing else I've published. 
I'd love to see it properly distributed, to be honest. The feedback has been really strong, and there is a tiny part of me that says "chase it!" Balancing that and work is tricky though, and I can't give it the time (I hope) it deserves.

When we can expect the next epic? ... your readership is waiting! Of course that might mean you have to go and have another adventure to write about

It may sound daft, but I'm hoping the next epic comes from someone else. If barring mechanicals achieves anything, I'd like to think it goes some way to show that everyone has a story, and that the extraordinary is far more available than might be immediately apparent. I'm sure there are enough talented cyclechatters to make a book of 'ride reports', and really hope that this isn't a one off.
As for adventures... well, Tomsk and I are due to try something a little special in September this year. There might be a world record in it. Time will tell.
