A beautifully crafted memoir. -- The Guildford Magazine An eye-opening account of one of adventure motorcycling's most enjoyable and inspiring stories. If there's only one adventure biking book you read this year, make it this one. --Byrn Davies Adventure Bike Rider Elspeth's journey is a stunning read, but it's the companionship and sense she will never be able to fully convey those years of her early 20s that hits you hardest . . . the disconnection she feels after the trip - combined with a travelling love story as heartbreaking as it is real - means this is essential reading if you've ever been on, or have planned, a road trip. --Tim Rodie DriveTribe Stunningly honest, Lone Rider is going to raise eyebrows.
