In the course of writing this book Tom Fenton racked up over 1,500km of riding in one month and became possibly the only person in the world to have ridden every waymarked singletrack trail in England, Scotland and Wales. Now, after a quick break in order to write this guide and let his knees recover, he's back to riding bikes as often as he possibly can. Tom is also the author of Cycling in the Peak District and has edited several of Vertebrate's bestselling mountain biking titles. An experienced mountain biker, Tom has ridden all over the UK and Europe and recently completed the demanding MegaAvalanche in the French Alps.
