Long Ride for a Pie

Long Ride for a Pie
By Tim Mulliner

London, February 2001 Tim Mulliner is fed up with Engllish weather and food, and above all is pining for a good Kiwi pie - 'the kind that melts in the mouth and leaves tiny flakes of pastry stuck to your lips, a small shower of crumbs on your shirt, and a nice warm satisfied feeling in the stomach'. So Tim decides to cycle home.to Christchurch, New Zealand, via 22 countries and some of the world's hairiest roads. This is the story of his epic trip.

Europe's a breeze, and the hard graft kicks in in asia. An arrest in Iran; giardia on the Karakoram Highway; landslides in Pakistan; delirium in China's 'sea of death', the vast Taklamakan desert; attacked by dogs in Tibet; a 1000-km, week-long 'dash' across the blistering Nullarbor Plain in Australia, before finally hitting home over a year later.

A long ride for a pie.
