Cycling Home from Siberia: 30,000 miles, 3 years, 1 bicycle

Cycling Home from Siberia is a gripping story of endurance and adventure: Rob Lilwallâ€™s epic journey back to England via the forbidding jungles of Papua New Guinea, an Australian cyclone, and Afghanistanâ€™s war-torn Hindu Kush.

â€œIt is late October, and the temperature is already â€“40 degrees . . . My thoughts are filled with frozen rivers that may or may not hold my weight; empty, forgotten valleys haunted by emaciated ghosts; and packs of ravenous, merciless wolves.â€

Having left his job as a high-school geography teacher, Rob Lilwall arrived in Siberia equipped only with a bike and a healthy dose of fear. Cycling Home from Siberia recounts his epic three-and-a-half-year, 30,000-mile journey back to England via the foreboding jungles of Papua New Guinea, an Australian cyclone, and Afghanistanâ€™s war-torn Hindu Kush. A gripping story of endurance and adventure, this is also a spiritual journey, providing poignant insight into life on the road in some of the worldâ€™s toughest corners.
