EVER THOUGHT ABOUT PLUNGING OFF THE EDGE INTO A SPACE WHERE NO ONE KNOWS YOU, WHERE YOU BECOME A MYSTERY TO YOURSELF? This book is more than an account of cycling along the Himalaya from India to Nepal. It’s a test of endurance and a stretch of imagination by a cyclist mounting into the clouds, looking down on what’s happening to Earth, and reflecting on a life of choices – not all of them wise. It antagonizes, provokes and challenges. It is a sometimes up-lifting, sometimes heart-breaking story that will lead every reader on a gritty journey that goes deep, treading a ragged edge of courage and loss. It is as much about inner fault-lines and precipices as about those the author describes along the roads during his seven week journey. Each of us must always wonder about our waypoints, what we do, and what we leave behind. This is one man’s answer. "A DEEPLY MEDITATIVE ACCOUNT OF A SOLO CYCLE VENTURE ALONG THE HIMALAYA, PROBING THE STATE OF OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH EARTH AND OURSELVES."
