Kathryn Moody is a Melbourne-based researcher, writer and cyclist. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Anthropology, Geography and Law from Monash University and worked as a secondary school teacher before pursuing a career in health and safety. Kathryn got her first bike in grade four - a yellow dragster - after first riding her friend's stepthrough around Woodend in country Victoria. More recently, Kathryn has found her writer's voice while researching the stories of the early Australian overlander bicyclists. The Indefatigables is her first book.

So dip your wheel and take a journey into the fascinating world that is Australian endurance cycling.
