The son of a wrestler turned cycling coach called Killer Kowalski, Rob Hayles was soon winning races himself and realizing that he didn't really want to work for a living. The world of amateur club cycling in the 1990s was a long way from the millionaire sport of today though. When Rob first rode for Great Britain, it was with his own bike, one spare tyre, and a hand-me-down jersey. Yet Rob became an integral part of the amazing success story of British cycling, and has been at the centre of the sport for the past two decades. With Bradley Wiggins, he was a member of the first GB team to become world champions at the team pursuit, the most demanding and thrilling discipline on the track. With teammate David Millar, he witnessed first-hand the drug-strewn, often demeaning life of the professional road cyclist. And as Mark Cavendish's training partner, Rob has been the experienced influence at the side of the fastest man on two wheels. Easy Rider is an unforgettable journey through revolutionary times. Sharp, down-to-earth, packed with anecdotes and just plain fun, it takes you from the humblest of beginnings through a golden era in British cycling.

On July 3, 1961, Ian Parsons reported to RCMP Depot Division in Regina as a raw recruit. It was the beginning of a 33-year adventure that took him from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island and many points between. By the time he retired with the rank of inspector, Parsons had a policeman’s trunk full of colourful stories and insightful observations that he now shares in this memoir. Parsons writes candidly of his many roles within the RCMP, from postings in rural detachments, where he dealt with diverse policing issues, to stints teaching at the Canadian Police College in Ottawa and at the RCMP Academy in Regina. Always an independent thinker, Parsons lectured sometimes-resistant RCMP senior officers on the adoption of new ways and helped introduce programs to modernize recruit training and make it more relevant to the demands of a rapidly changing Canadian society. In recent years, Parsons has observed the troubled state and tarnished reputation of his beloved force as it faces crisis after crisis. Against the entertaining backdrop of his life in red serge, he gives a thoughtful assessment of things gone wrong in the iconic institution and identifies the drastic steps necessary to save it.
In 2012, prompted by the spirit of adventure, Ogbonnaya Kanu set off on his first unaccompanied and longest biking tour, with his faithful 2010 BMW R1200GS, codenamed Blanks, to ride from Lagos, Africa, to Europe and back. Characterized by interesting food stops, peculiar border crossings, different degrees of culture shock, relationships with nature and her elements, and a rather unusual road obstruction, FD, Breaking Limits: Europe is more than just a guide for the adventurous biker. Beautifully written, FD, Breaking Limits: Europe will take readers into the heart and mind of a man as he travels alone on a road less travelled but with his goal always in sight.
When her husband of a dozen years walks out in a huff, Caroline Sommers walks out too - to Europe, with her kids after impulsively selling her minivan for travel money. Tired of being the perfect wife, she escapes to rediscover herself, and possibly rekindle the unrequited love of a Frenchman from her college days. While shepherding her kids from London to Scotland then Paris to Provence, she finds herself at a crossroads. Does she choose love, or lust, in the arms of a European man, or should she try again with the father of her children and the man she truly loved, once?
Life is good: it’s a phrase I use all the time. Sometimes I’ve even said it when I’ve just crashed my motorbike, fallen with my horse, or had to make an emergency landing when flying an aircraft through thick cloud. I believe in seizing every opportunity that life offers you. That’s why, when I was on a motorcycle holiday in Germany and saw a fairground, I immediately signed up to become a Wall of Death rider. It’s why, when I was first at the solo controls of an aerobatic aircraft, I thought I’d try to loop-the-loop. It’s also why I accepted every job offer that came my way, whether it was as a stunt rider, saddlery maker or snake hunter. It’s how I’ve lived my life: I hope you enjoy reading about it.
Heres your perfect holiday read! When Tricia left the childrens home aged 17, the exceedingly dark and onerous cloud continued to follow her! She was still very much in survival mode when at 21, she bumped into John, a middle-class ex-hippie, with just a tatty suitcase and a fiver to his name. Despite an extremely turbulent courtship, three years later they finally tied the knot. Over the years, and in spite of very limited resources, they still managed to embark on a number of hilarious and ill-fated holidays abroad. These vacations begin with their tragic Greek honeymoon, followed close on the heels by a girls day trip to France that goes horribly wrong. You will be shaking your head in despair when you read about her camping disasters, numerous timeshare travesties, and hopelessly stressful European hotel breaks, as well as the lengths she is willing to go to, just to get an extra Disney ticket! For your own well-being and safety, when you next take a flight, do check the name of the lady sitting next to you. If she answers to the name of Tricia Bennett, it may be wise at that point to quietly leave the plane and reschedule your flight! Oh, and just incase your eyesight is as seriously deficient as hers, the two little figures parachuting out of the plane are the pilot and co pilot, baling out while they still have the chance to do so!
Forfatteren, der efter 41 års tjeneste trak sig tilbage som viceadmiral i RN, har i 1922 udgivet sine erindringer, der spænder over årene mellem 1864 og indtil 1905. Admiralen havde mange udkommandoer og beskriver en flådekultur, der i dag er interessant men kan forekomme ganske mærkværdig.
In the middle of tremendous darkness occurring worldwide and on a personal level for many, we must know that Christ is our best light of navigation through it all. There are many false lights vying for our attention, which, in the end, can bring shipwreck to people’s lives. Being focused intently on God’s pathways and His light (His truth) will carry us through to safe harbor. This book shares the “God stories” occurring in one woman’s pursuit of God’s presence and personal relationship with Him. It is the story of a thread of love woven in a life journey where His movement occurs in subtle-yet-unexpected ways. There are also moments of dramatic interventions on God’s part that astound as well. Many call this weaving of God’s movement and presence in our lives “the dance,” and it is a dance of the best kind. The events recorded here speak of trusting God in the midst of suffering and sorrow, which touch so many lives daily; however, it will also lift and encourage you as God’s engaging actions surprise as well. A greater recognition of how God moves and presents Himself in our moments will be eye-opening. We all have those hard questions we’ve asked God and not believed we would ever hear an answer to. Unfortunately, church culture teaches that He moves so mysteriously that we will not have the answers we desperately need when life’s tragedies hurt us deeply. This book dispels that misunderstanding and shows a God who loves us deeply and wants to answer our seemingly impossible questions gladly.
