3. A Round-the-World Velo Voyage: One Woman's Quest, One Record-Breaking Journey – While Jenny's record was broken last year, her sincere and humorous storytelling makes this book an engaging read, despite the record now being surpassed.
4. The Globe's Greatest Cycling Rides – This lovely coffee-table book from Lonely Planet inspires wanderlust and route planning for cycling adventures worldwide.
