Ten Bodies, Two Bikes and a Boil - Buy the book
A dark comedy based on the true story of one man’s quest for immortality.  Matthew Moore has received the worst news of his life – he only has one year to live, and he wants to do something he can finally be proud of.

Ten Bodies, Two Bikes and a Boil follows the diary of one man as he cycles the length of the country, from Lands End to John O’Groats, dragging his father-in-law; his Bike Buddy, with him.  A man who is grumpy, overweight, unfit, with knackered knees and high blood pressure.  A man more likely to die than succeed. 

Over three weeks, Moore tells of his battle through the country.  A light-hearted and jovial tale to begin with, Moore appears to forget about his fatal diagnosis, but quickly becomes envious of other people.  What starts as a simple cycle ride soon becomes a personal crusade, one final attempt to live forever.

This book is a must read for anyone who has already cycled, or is contemplating the challenge and includes daily maps, road and traffic conditions as well as the contour of the route.

Endurance Bunny and the Small Shrivelled Organ - Buy the book
The sequel to Ten Bodies is now available on Lulu.com. It will be available in all good bookshops eventually, but these things take a bit of time. If you enjoyed the first book, you'll love the sequel. It describes a journey across from St David's in Wales to Lowestoft in Suffolk. Like the first, it includes summary route diagrams as well as the road surface, traffic and contours. Download it for just £4.50, or buy a paper copy for £9.95.

Moore returns from his epic cycle journey craving more. Endurance Bunny is a true story of one man’s continual drive to survive as he heads into surgery and then undertakes to cycle from St David’s Head to Lowestoft. Moore finds a new cycling partner; Endurance Bunny-a completely different beast entirely. A man who is physically fit, primed to perfection, who runs a marathon before breakfast and chops down trees with his bare hands. But Moore doesn’t cope well with being the unfit one, especially when forced to watch his superhuman colleague make everything look easy. Flipping between the diary of their cycle journey and his impending surgical doom, Endurance Bunny follows the exploits of a man whose body is getting older, fatter and slowly disintegrating. Moore moans about his operation, his rising blood pressure, his knackered knees and increasing weight, but this time there is nothing he can do about it–or is there?
