” Steve & I clutched hands – his right in my left – & then we simultaneously pushed down with our feet. Cogs clicked, wheels turned, & we were on our way. We left Nordkapp within minutes. Cape Town was only 18, 000 kilometres away.” Deciding to break away from his comfortable lifestyle in London, Reza & his friend Steven set off from the most northerly point on mainland Europe to cycle the 11, 000 miles to the other end of the planet, completely unsupported. Their expedition becomes a race against the clock, as they attempt to complete the trip in a world record of just 100 days. Battling punishing terrain & primitive roads, harsh & debilitating climates, malaria, food poisoning & heat stroke, their thrilling journey brings them face to face with some of the world’s most stunning, memorable & volatile regions. This is the intensely personal story of one man’s mission to create a more positive, purposeful life, & the compelling account of the epic journey he took to get there.
