Moods of Future Joys - Around the World by Bike, part 1

£7.99

“Moods of Future Joys” tells the first part of Alastair Humphreys’ incredible 40,000-mile journey around the world by bike. The journey was an old-fashioned adventure: long, lonely, low-budget and spontaneous. Cycling across five continents and sailing across the oceans, his ride took four years to complete, on a tiny budget of hoarded student loans.

Moods of Future Joys is the story of the first remarkable stage of the expedition. Just two weeks into the ride the September 11th attacks, and the war that followed, changed everything. All Humphreys’ plans went out of the window, and instead of riding towards Australia, he found himself pedalling through the Middle East and Africa and on towards Cape Town. But his journey did not end there. In fact, it was only the beginning…

Moods of Future Joys recounts an epic journey that succeeded through Humphreys’ trust in the kindness of strangers, at a time where the interactions of our global community are more confused and troubled than ever.
