Summary: The Lead Goat veered Off
Review: It takes guts to chuck life as most people know it, load all your world on a bicycvle and set off for unplanned destinations, it's frightening enough. But when your wife agrees to go along on your cockamamie trip, that's true love. One thing I can say, when you start reading this book, you certainly won't veeer off, you will keep reading to the last word.Jim Foreman

Summary: A Bicycling Adventure on Sardinia
Review: The title of this book reached out and grabbed me - insisting that I read the first page - then the second - and then I was hooked! Neil Anderson has a great gift - not just for his skills in writing but also for making the reader a participant in the entire journey.
Neil and Sharon, with me as a phantom companion rode together through some awe-inspiring scenery and slept together in some definite character building places. Neil's special brand of humor kicks free in this witty and madcap adventure - as free as Neil himself feels as he attempts to win the on-going contest he and Sharon have for the "fastest velocity" by rocketing recklessly past her on the downhills. Both a fun and an informative read! Top Notch.

Summary: Cycling in Sardinia
Review: The wonderful aspect of Sardinia is that it's like being in Italy prior to World War II. The people in the small villages are still accustomed to the old ways that are no longer found in continental Europe. Neil describes his and Sharon's experiences while cycling there for three months. It's a humorous account of their experiences and the people they met on the island. And it's not just a good story, but he has deftly described the essence of bicycle touring. "Do we eat to ride, or ride to eat?" -- a quote from Sharon. Neil is a gifted writer and I would have given the book five stars if it had some photos. Fortunately, if you check out their website, http://cyclelogicpress.virtualave.net, you will find some great photos with rather witty captions. The Sardinia adventure was just a small part of a long bicycle tour and I hope The Lead Goat Veered Off is just the first installment.
