Coffee First, Then the World: One Woman's Record-Breaking Pedal Around the Planet

Product Information

I couldn’t figure out what had gone wrong and instead panicked, assuming this was my tech incompetence. Im Juni 2018 stand eine junge Schottin mit ihrem Fahrrad am Brandenburger Tor und brach zu einer Reise auf, die schon einige vor ihr unternommen hatten. One of the major and, in my opinion, most impressive aspects of Jenny's record was the self-supported element. Jenny wasn’t born into a culture of elite sport, but through a mad tapestry of life experiences she gained the grit and the humour with which to truly strive. Less relatable were some of the wildlife come across and the sheer incredible physical feat of riding around the planet in 124 hours.

She’s chasing a goal to be the fastest woman to circumnavigate the world on a bike, and we get the privilege to accompany her on her adventure. Absolutely loved listening to this an as audiobook as Jenny Graham recounts her story in a hilarious and honest style.While getting back on the saddle often meant lingering over another cup of coffee, she observed plenty about the 4 continents she traversed and its inhabitants during daylight hours to entertain the reader with succinct but colorful descriptions about the changing landscapes and cultures she experienced.

After she pedaled around the world, her car failed and she ended up cycling everywhere was bittersweet.Given her Berlin, Germany start in mid-June, weather became a major source of delay and suffering when the Australian winter cursed her ride with heavy cold downpours, zero-degree temperatures and unforgiving winds along the southern coast down-under. In accordance with The Post Office, the last recommended date for Christmas posting is 18th December (2nd Class) and 20th December (First class). As you can imagine, the more nail-biting sections include getting through customs without losing an absorbent amount of time, making sure you have enough supplies if you encounter a puncture, and braving the monstrous trucks on the road.
