Juliana Buhring is a British-German ultra-endurance cyclist and writer. In 2012, she set the first Guinness World Record as the Fastest Woman to Circumnavigate the Globe by Bike, riding over 18,000 miles in 152 days. She lives in Naples, Italy.
"Now this is feminism!. . . Buhring is in a class with Amelia
Earhart and Kathrine Switzer; brave, strong, and a little crazy in
the best possible way."
*Douglas Lord - Library Journal*
"Vivid…Buhring insists she is…just an ordinary person pushing
outside her comfort zone. That is exactly what makes her story so
amazing."
*Booklist*
"[A] testament to the human will to overcome and survive as well as
a moving portrait of a woman on a deeply personal quest to define
the meaning of her life. A searching, engaging memoir from an
author who "can be at home no matter where I am in the world.""
*Kirkus Reviews*
"This is an inspirational memoir about the power of one's
undefeatable determination that will appeal to adrenaline
seekers."
*Publisher's Weekly*
"An incredible journey that is awe inspiring and completely
captivating. I couldn’t put the book down, couldn’t wait to find
out how Buhring would overcome the next barrier! She makes one
realize that great dreams are possible to achieve. One of my
all-time favorites!"
*Lynne Cox, author of Swimming to Antarctica and Grayson*
"Juliana Buhring endured fear, doubt, and pain to achieve a truly
remarkable feat. But Buhring is more than an athlete—she’s a
phoenix, who rose from the ashes of a horrific childhood and a
devastating personal loss to test herself against the unknown.
You’ll be amazed and inspired by this book."
*Daniel H. Pink, author of Drive*
"I read this book in a single sitting, transfixed by Juliana's
incredible story… The physical achievement of riding around the
world pales in comparison to the mental achievement of holding
herself together and staying the course through such hardship. This
is one of those stories that just pulls you along for the ride.
Once I embarked, it just whisked me along until the end."
*Alex Honnold, author of Alone on the Wall*
