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 Cycle Route was published by Cicerone; her work on the book inspired Carl to ride the whole 170-mile tour in day. Rachel and Carl later collaborated on a guide to Hadrian's Cycleway. Recently the couple have enjoyed fostering a love of cycling in their two children.
