Riding the great beyond : a solo bicycle journey through the Americas from Alaska to Argentina.

Bob Stanley escapes the office in July 2011 to bicycle out of Deadhorse in far northern Alaska in order to travel southwards as

far and the road will go.

This ride will eventually cover two continents ending in Tierra Del Fuego in Argentina.

This story of the eighteen-month 28,000 kilometre bicycle journey covers every latitude from the top to the bottom of the

magnificent Americas and describes all of the joys, pains and challenges of the road, and the penning of a few highly questionable

songs along the way. It is a celebration of freedom and of the pure joy of engaging with the world from the privileged vantage point

of the bicycle.
