Produktbeschreibung
Each early June the world's toughest mountain bike race kicks off from Banff Canada. The race course follows dirt roads, muddy tracks, and snow covered mountains along the Continental Divide to the Mexican border, some 2,750 miles in total. This race, this cannonball run of pain, is called the Tour Divide and is unique in the world of sport: the clock never stops and no outside support is allowed. The Cordillera is the journal of the Tour Divide. The Cordillera is about things that break - broken bodies, broken bikes, broken spirits. Between these covers are people at their lowest, their most physically and emotionally depleted. Volume 6 of The Cordillera describes the 2014 race. But as always, the Cordillera is about focusing and getting on with the job of trying to reach Antelope Wells. The common thread to all stories is the incredible strength of the human spirit, and what can be achieved if we really try.
Autorenporträt
Christopher Bennett was born and raised in the working-class suburb of Fitzroy in the 1950s and 1960s. A cheeky and boisterous kid of migrant parents, he roamed the streets and nearby haunts for fun and adventure and found much more than he bargained for.Roy Boy took eleven years to write because life kept getting in the way. Other than writing, Chris has been a Tai Chi practitioner and teacher for more than 35 years and loves spending time photographing the world around him.Though life has taken him out of Fitzroy to live among the gum trees and kookaburras of the Dandenong Ranges, he still considers himself a Roy Boy. Wherever he goes, Fitzroy will always be with him - it's part of his DNA.
