About the Author

Andrew isn’t your average cyclist.  For starters, he started his bike touring with a 20,000km cycle around Australia.  Since then, he’s spent more than three years in the saddle, cycling through deserts, over mountain ranges and across notoriously tedious - as well as magnificently beautiful - stretches of road.  

When he is not cycling, Andrew is an award-winning travel writer, specialising in outdoor adventure. His previous books include Headwinds, the story of his 20,000-kilometre bike ride around Australia, Where to Ride: Tasmania and Lonely Planet's Cycling Australia guidebook. 

About the Book

Andrew would have to be one of the best-qualified people on the planet to author the Ultimate Cycling Trips – World, which was published by Hardie Grant in 2021.  Drawing on his more than 20 years of cycle touring adventures all around the world – and his professional travel writing skills – the book provides detailed descriptions of some 35 of his favourite rides. If that’s not enough to whet your appetite, there’s also a wealth of information about choosing the right bike, carrying gear, packing, training and travel tips.
