Carl McKeating and Rachel Crolla live on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales and are outdoor pursuits all-rounders. In 2018 Rachel's guide to the Way of the Roses (Cicerone) was published; her work on the book inspired Carl to ride the whole 170 mile tour in day. Recently the couple have enjoyed fostering a love of cycling in their two children, including many family cycle routes in their recent book, Outdoor Adventures with Children: Lake District.
