Riding off the Edge of the Map is a true account of the author and
two fellow motorcyclists on an adventure-tour into Mexico's rugged
and stunning Copper Canyon. They follow an errant map until they
have traveled so far into danger that returning is deemed more
precarious than continuing. Struggling with nearly impassible
roads, injury, terror, and broken equipment, the three men were
eventually forced to independently find their way back to
civilization from the most remote part of the Canyon. The quest
begins in the heart of Central Mexico's Sierra Madre Mountains and
traces their journey up the Pacific Coast and into the largest
canyon system in North America, 1700 feet deeper and four times the
size of Arizona's Grand Canyon. Bryen, a career psychotherapist and
motorcycle safety instructor, integrates his lifelong zeal for
motorcycle riding and his passionate commitment to the life of the
soul, and weaves the events into an odyssey that pulls the reader
into an exterior and interior exploration of what it takes to
venture into the heart of the Canyon. The trip required a crash
course in new motorcycling riding skills, adjusting to rural
customs and new language in a foreign culture, settling the
stress-created conflicts among the riders, and finding the courage
to face and deal with personal limitations. Eventually stripped of
everything familiar where old maps, old rules, and old
understandings no longer applied, this life-changing journey
becomes an examination into fundamental questions of how to ride
and how to live. The book describes being caught between the allure
of beauty and the repulsion of terror, and explores how to access
the deeper powers that become available to us when life seems most
challenging. The author turns this motorcycle adventure tour into
an opportunity to contemplate the longings, the fears, and the
misapplied maps that govern our lives.
