An adventure in extreme endurance sport, as well as an inquiry into the unique story of South Africa, journalist Kevin Davie shares his story of mountain biking in remote, wide-open South African spaces, as he endures a 10,000 kilometer journey that tested his courage and determination through blizzards, lightning, and hail storms, as well as 104-degree heat. Riding in minimalistic fashion-carrying all of his equipment without the aid of a backup vehicle-Davie's story explores the question of why athletes push themselves to rise to the challenge of extreme sport and provides a stirring account of the South Africa and the incredible warmth and support from locals who reached out to help.
