And that can only mean one thing - drugs.But as Mark and team-mate Paul resist the pressure to conform, they discover that all is not as it seems. And it's only then that their troubles really begin. For, buried deep within the heart of Masterton Manor lies an unbelievable, dark secret.In this world of conspiracy, breeding the perfect cycling athlete has taken on a whole new meaning - and performance enhancing drugs are only the start. But once they discover the truth, will they ever be allowed to leave alive?With a twist of humour, this easy-read novel is accessible to the cyclist and non-cyclist alike. Why not pick up a copy TODAY for some mystery, intrigue and adventure?Rated PG-15 by the author, as there is some mild adult content.FAUX REVIEWS by PSEUDO-CELEBRITIESHere are just a few of the author's infamous 'faux reviews' of the spurious kind for Cyclopathic Tendencies…A global conspiracy (ish), some kick-ass action and a bunch of bikes thrown in - what more could you want? In fact, I think the screenwriters have missed a trick by not having any bike chases in my movies.JASON BOURNETrained assassin & Martial Arts expertThis book has got to be one of our favourite cycling novels ever!

Alannah F aka The Pyjama WriterAuthor of fantasy adventures, fun mysteries, travel tales, and other maverick titles that won't fall in in the UK, Alannah lived in her Aussie birthplace for five years in her twenties, where mozzies regularly used her for target practice. She managed to return to Old Blighty devoid of shark or snake bite, however, and currently lives in picturesque Cornwall with her cycling-obsessed partner.She is an international book award finalist and multi-genre author best known for her series of fantasy adventures inspired by fairy tales and her mysteries starring laid-back Aussie Scott Chevalier.Alannah has also written about her travel capers, both in a campervan and Down Under (not both together - yet!), and has a handful of other oddball titles to her name. Most of her work comes with a sprinkle of humour.Outside of writing, she is the founder and head owl at Book Lover Merch, where she designs physical and digital goodies for book lovers to enjoy.When she's not immersed in creative pursuits, she likes to hit the trails on her bike, take walks in nature, or go kayaking - basically, anything that will get her butt out of the chair for a while that doesn't involve going to a sweaty old gym.Visit to get her pester-free newsletter.To find out more, visit
