Download Riding Sky High: A Bicycle Adventure Around the World AudioBook Free
Many imagine dropping everything and traveling throughout the world. From the common aspiration, but few imagine getting into that voyage by bicycle. Subjected to the elements, legs burning, all your possessions strapped for you and your bicycle--it doesn't coloring a relaxing picture, but this is merely what Pierre-Yves Tremblay does. Leaving his hometown of Chicoutimi, Quebec, in July 1994, Tremblay needed a airfare to Europe; from Paris he hopped on his cycle and went for an extended ride throughout the world that lasted all of 836 times. He traveled through Europe, at night deserts of the Middle East, then braved the Himalayas and rode through Southeast Asia and the wilds of Australia before completing his voyage by biking across the United States and arriving back in Canada. Aside from the sheer physical effort, this epic excursion is about a person confronting himself, by themselves with his cycle, encountering life, its possibilities, and its limitations, dealing with feelings and everything that compels him to keep going and persevere. This means exchanging greetings and writing moments with folks from many different cultures. It means conquering a huge selection of pitfalls and then keep on going. Fifteen and a half thousand miles later, this modern-day Ulysses invites us to learn the valuable journals he kept on his odyssey. Here you will discover out what really pushes great achievers to their limits.
