This is the expedition that has inspired hundreds of others. Ewan McGregor certainly learnt from watching the Mondo Enduro DVD. He avoided the Zilov Gap - the 392 mile section of Siberian tundra and swamp where Mondo Enduro ended up man-hauling their bikes...
The classic Discovery Television series Mondo Enduro is at last published as a paperback. Here you can experience first hand the joys and the agonies of riding the longest land route round the world, 44000 miles, in the shortest possible time. Completely unsponsored and without backup, Mondo Enduro learnt their mistakes the hard way, because they had no idea what they were doing.
Any of the three parts of Mondo Enduro would make an exciting book in its own right, but here they are published together for the first time.
1. London to Magadan (Siberia)
2. Alaska to Chile
3. South Africa back home to London.
Sleeping in mud huts or under the stars; avoiding bandits from the Caucasus to Central America, this is adventure motorcycling as it's meant to be - raw, super low budget and above all fun.
The Mondo Enduro diaries were written on the road by:
Austin Vince, Louis Bloom, Mark Friend, Clive Greenhough, Bill Penty, Charles Penty, Nicholas Stubley, and Gerald Vince.
The final book was edited by Austin Vince.
The most exciting motorcycle adventure ever, if you were on it. |
