The book: Cycling home from Siberia

I don’t know if Rob Lilwall knows it but he has penned a two-wheeled classic. I wanted to rise up singing and strap on my bicycle clips.
- The Guardian
Lilwall’s story is a remarkable one… enhanced by the fact that he has a writer’s skill for conveying a sense of place .
- The Sunday Telegraph
Published by Hodder & Stoughton, Rob’s first book Cycling Home From Siberia recounts in detail what happened during his three years on the road – how it all started and he ended up in Siberia at the start of winter, crossing Papua New Guinea, Tibet and Afghanistan, plus robbery, malaria, a cyclone and whole lot besides.
