Description

Adventures with the world’s oldest off-road cycling club

Rough-Stuff Fellowship was established in a pub near the Welsh/English border in 1955, making it the oldest off-road cycling club in the world. 

The photos are full of the joy of riding your bike, and evocative of a bygone style – of a time when you might set off on a club ride wearing a shirt and tie, a deerstalker or a bobble hat, and no ride was complete without a stop to brew up some tea and smoke a pipe. 

This book celebrates their style and their spirit. It is a document not only of the history of cycling off the beaten track, but of British outdoor culture.
