A broken heart and a moment of drunken bravado inspires
middle-aged, and typically rather cautious, journalist Mike Carter
to take off on a life-changing six month motorcycle trip around
Europe. Never mind that he hadn't been on two wheels since an
inglorious three-month teenage chapter involving a Lambretta, four
crashes and an 18-month ban for drink-driving, a plan had begun to
loosely form... And so, having completed a six day residential
motorcycle course and hastily re-mortgaged his flat, Mike sets off
alone, resolving to go wherever the road takes him and enjoy the
adventure of heading off into the unknown. He ends up travelling
almost 20,000 miles and reaching the four extremes of Europe: the
Arctic Circle in the north, the Mediterranean coast in the south,
the Portuguese Atlantic to the west and the Iraqi border of Turkey
in the east. But really it's a journey inwards, as, on the way,
Mike finds his post-divorce scars starting to heal and attempts to
discover what he, as a man in his forties who hasn't quite found
his place in the world, should be doing. Self-deprecating, poetic
and utterly engaging, his is a heroic journey taken for the rest of
us too scared to leave our 9 to 5 office-bound existence.
