The Man Who Cycled the Americas
Mark Beaumont was not content with setting the record for fastest ride around the world.
The Man Who Cycled the Americas documents his next Herculean task:
cycling from Alaska to the tip of South America.
Even that was not enough: Beaumont scaled Denali, the highest peak in North America before setting off on the bike; and then climbed Aconcagua, in Argentina, at the other end having nearly completed the journey.
The BBC set him up with equipment and logistical support, but the rest - the pedaling, the animals, the bugs, the heat, the rain, the cold, the amazing people he meets along the way, the stunning beauty, the boredom - was all Beaumont.
The book is a great read, even for those of us happy to pedal into the hills that surround Kyoto for our taste of adventure.
