Burnt out and questioning life Naomi was ready for a change. Unsure of which option to take, she would end up cycling the world with a man she’d met just three times in the adventure of a lifetime. Riding through tiger reserves, cycling Cairo to Capetown and crossing the 5,416m high Thorong-la pass in Nepal this book is full of tales of adventure.
With early school reports noting Naomi would be better at sport if she at least turned up, this is not an athlete’s journey but the story of an ordinary person with a great opportunity and a can-do attitude. Set against a background of the joy of riding a bike, the journey recounted, and reflections provided on coming home it offers a story of determination, overcoming challenges, making the most of life and of course of travel, cycling and relationships.
Quote from Mark Beaumont – Long distance cyclist, broadcaster and author.
‘A wonderful perspective to discover the world and a lovingly written account of overcoming setbacks, the spirit of wanderlust and refusing to become an athlete, despite cycling a very, very long way’.
Whether a keen cyclist, traveller or someone who just loves an inspirational read then this book is for you.
