review 1: Whew! I enjoyed this book so much! Not that Beaumont is a great writer or that he documented his feat with all the detail I would like, but he captured the sense of striving with total focus that is the essence of adventure and athleticism. This is a book I want to keep on my night stand to remind me that the easiest path is not necessarily the preferred one or the one that will give most satisfaction. I'm inspired by Beaumont's feat and want to look into what he's done with his life--the further adventures of Mark Beaumont, if you will--since getting into the Guinness Book.
review 2: I bought this book a year ago when I went to hear mark speak at a cycle festival. He was highly engaging talking about his various adventures but this book about his first tri... morep around the world is a great read. I've read quite a few journey/challenge books and this ranks up there as one of the best. Well written and hugely readable especially for anyone who travels or bikes or neither of those things. I felt the highs and lows of the journey and take my hat off to the stoicism to finish an 18,000 mile cycle ride across different countries and cultures with little support. Enjoyed the descriptions of the countries and terrain and stats. It's well written this one. To be recommended for sure. less
