In September 1990, driven by a recent interest in cycling and a longstanding ambition to travel, Dave Cobley gave up the security of his job as a care worker in London for a life of adventure and uncertainty on the road. 20,000 miles and three years later, after riding through four continents and twenty-seven countries, he returned home. Filled with moments of triumph and disaster, as well as a multitude of colourful characters, this absorbing account will carry you along and maybe even persuade you to follow your own dreams.
