Gironimo! by Tim Moore

Gironimo! by Tim Moore

Of the 81 who rolled out of Milan, only eight made it back. Committed to total authenticity, Tim acquires the ruined husk of a gearless, wooden-wheeled 1914 road bike with wine corks for brakes, some maps and an alarming period outfit topped off with a pair of blue-lensed welding goggles.

A considerable achievement -- Duncan Craig * Lonely Planet Traveller *
Painfully funny -- Tim Dowling * Week *
A wonderfully written, extremely funny book.. You read Gironimo! with a permanent smile on your face * UK Press Syndication *
A superbly funny read * Cycling Weekly *
Readers of Moore’s French Revolutions will not be disappointed by this hilariously painful, and poignant, adventure -- Anna Carey * Irish Times *

Having ridden the route of the Tour de France in French Revolutions, led a donkey on a 500-mile pilgrimage in Spanish Steps and driven round the worst places in Britain in an Austin Maestro for You Are Awful (But I Like You), Tim Moore can loook back on a towering career in misadventure.

Gironimo!, his latest and most imposing pedal-powered endeavour, is a story of predictable over-ambition trumped by frankly staggering over-achievement. Moore lives in London with his wife and three children, and still wears those welding goggles at Christmas.
