In June 2008, Ben Cunningham and five friends set out to cycle the Pan-American Highway, embarking on a 20,000-kilometre route from Alaska’s Arctic Circle to Ushuaia, Argentina. Facing towering mountain passes, desert plains, and tropical rainforests, they confronted the raw elements and discovered their own limits.

Along the route, unexpected challenges surfaced: run-ins with border patrols, tense encounters in urban slums, and episodes of hardship that tested their resolve. Yet each new region brought moments of hospitality, with locals offering shelter, meals, and encouragement to fuel the riders’ spirits.

Combining vivid storytelling with candid reflection, this memoir captures the endurance, camaraderie, and sense of wonder found on the world’s longest road. It’s a testament to the transformative power of adventure and the bonds that form when strangers unite around a common goal.

• An epic cycling expedition across two continents
