Details: Have you ever dreamed of climbing a mountain, running a marathon, racing in the Tour de France, competing in an Ironman, or just taking your bike for a multi-day ride away from it all?

Cyclists, endurance athletes, travelers, and vicarious adventurers alike will love Two Wheels and a Will. This compelling introduction to ultra-endurance cycling and bikepacking follows five cyclists with varying experience as they attempt to complete a daunting multi-day race across the breathtaking yet intimidating French Pyrenees.

But this book is about more than the race itself: it’s a travel adventure, a self-discovery quest, and an informative dive into local French geography, history, culture, and cuisine.

Most importantly, it’s about the inspiring mindset of those who show up on the start line even when they aren’t sure they’ll succeed. Those who know that you don’t have to cross the finish line to be rewarded with an immense feeling of accomplishment and satisfaction. As in life, it’s what you experience during your journey, when you explore your physical and mental limits, that will transform and enlighten you.

Between these pages: cyclists of all levels and disciplines will gain insight into preparing for their first (or hundredth) mountain ride; Tour de France fans will recognize many of the race’s legendary climbs as they cheer on the five ultra-endurance participants; and armchair thrill-seekers and virtual travelers will marvel at the rich details of new destinations steeped in old-world charm. After reading Two Wheels and a Will, you will never watch the Tour de France, travel to the Pyrenees, or view a cyclist in the same light. Let these five unique competitors—their courage, determination, failure, and success—inspire you.

Are you ready? The adventure starts now…
