This first book should have been written 20 years ago 

I am now working on a second book  which will brings much in the first book up to date with experiences of Expats & Residents in France, Spain & Portugal

The emphasis will be on Mallorca, East Algarve and Brittany.

The author born in South Yorkshire in 1938, was an early pioneer of paid continental cycle racing. He then established a successful career in financial services

. Currently, he was a reluctant rider at the outset of the professional class  in the UK.

Then he organised the most successful cycle training camps in Mallorca for 20 years

. He became a permanent resident in France in 2005, also having winter homes in the Algarve & Mallorca, consequently having considerable  travel, racing & club experiences in those & other countries  including South Africa, winning a world championship in Russia.
