Simon Warren
Id like to thank my amazing wife Charlotte and children Lux and Ryder for their support during
this mammoth project and my parents, family and friends for advice and guidance. Id like to say a
huge thank you to my wonderful photographers Phil and Andy for coping with my ruthless dawn til
dusk schedules almost without complaint. This book could not and would not have happened without
you. Thanks to Duncan Proudfoot at Little, Brown for having faith in the project and for encouraging
me to spread my wings to tackle something of this magnitude, and to Dom Millar who hooked me
up with Ross Matheson and Assos to dress me so fine. Also and in no particular order thanks to
Peter Walker at www.tourofpembrokeshire.com, Dan Evans, Nick Burton, James Ward, Ben Lowe at
veloviewer.com, Matt and Jess at ridethestruggle.com, everyone at Humanrace.co.uk and all cyclists
out there for following me on this crazy adventure. Ill see you in the hills.
Phil Hall
To my wife Lisa and my girls Ada and Emmie, thank you for your love and support.
