In 2015, 19-year-old Londoner, Tom Davies rode 18,000 miles to become the youngest person ever to cycle around the world. Emu Racing and Record Chasing recounts his journey, covering 100 miles a day and visiting 21 different countries to complete a very big circle from London to London. Emu Racing and Record Chasing takes an unapologetic look at the world from a bicycle saddle. The narrative goes beyond the hardships Tom faced, focusing on the brutally honest thoughts of a teenager pushing himself to the limit. Covering everything from coping with new cultures and dealing with extreme boredom to living with ridiculous tan lines, the light-hearted nature and humour of the book makes this an easy read which will appeal to a wide audience. Laying bare his emotions and youthful naivety with the aim of inspiring others to push for their own personal goals, Tom provides an insight into why he took on this challenge. Whether it makes readers laugh, cry or start riding a bike into the sunset, this book is sure to resonate, motivate and amaze.
