This beautiful coffee table book celebrates the 10th year of the epic bike tour with images, stories and quotes from its participants. The book is divided into 10 chapters, each dealing with an emotion or feeling experienced on Discovery, Humanity, Challenge, Hunger, Conflict, Pain, Wonder, Humility, and Bliss.
