I’m delighted to announce that the American edition of Cycling Home From Siberia is now out. It’s got a cool new cover, the s’s have been changed to zs, and I’ve also re-written a couple of sections. I’m really thrilled with this version , and it’s available now from all good bookshops, and of course amazon here.
If you’re in North America/have friends in North America, I’d be so grateful if you could forward this link round to all who you think might be interested.
In case you never saw them, below are some of the endorsements/reviews that the British edition of the book received, and a very short video trailer I just made (on my roof in Hong Kong):
Thanks so much
Rob
Endorsements/reviews from the UK:
“An epic journey” – Bear Grylls
“Lilwall’s story is a remarkable one… enhanced by the fact that he has a writer’s skill for conveying a sense of place.”
- The Sunday Telegraph
“This book is a rite-of-passage adventure full of thrills, excitement and endurance … If you’re a cyclist – and even if you’re not – go for this
book”
- The Irish Times
“I don’t know if Rob Lilwall knows it, but he has penned a two-wheeled classic. I wanted to rise up singing and strap on my bicycle clips.”
- The Guardian

Great job on the US edition! I purchased it in a little independent bookstore in Vernal, Utah while on a bike trip (just 337 miles, not 3 years!). It is such a great read on so many levels; thanks for sharing your stories Rob and best of luck with all of your future adventures! If the book is available in a tiny town in Utah it must be in wide distribution in the US by now.
