About the Event

Tim Moore has ridden the route of the Tour de France, led a donkey on a 500-mile pilgrimage, driven round the worst places in Britain in an Austin Maestro and much more.

Tim has also ridden the 3,160km route of the 1914 Giro Italia (only eight out of 81 made it back) on a gearless, wooden-wheeled road bike with wine corks for brakes.

His next book recounts his hideously over-ambitious challenge to cycle the length of the old Iron Curtain on a two-wheeled East German shopping bike! That’s 9,000km and 20 countries in three months on a 1960s version of a Boris Bike!

Tickets are available via Derby QUAD
