Harrison’s memoir is a captivating journey through the rugged and untouched terrain of Alaska, as he embarks on a solo bike ride through the wilderness. Dissatisfied with his mundane life, Harrison took a leap of faith and set off on an adventure to Alaska on his e-bike. His exhilarating tale ultimately led him to find work on a ferry system and make Alaska his permanent home. Harrison’s writing is raw and concise, capturing the excitement, isolation, and profound connection with nature as he recounts his journey to Alaska. Along the way, readers are treated to invaluable advice and tips, from preparing for the journey and building stamina, to packing essentials and finding charging stations for e-bikes at campgrounds or RV parks. But beyond practical tips, readers also gain insight into the author’s spirit: a man who effortlessly forms deep connections with strangers; a kindred soul who finds joy in life’s simplest moments and embraces the unknown with open arms. The included photographs are stunning, and the end notes offer further enlightenment on topics such as navigation systems, DIY e-bike kits, safety equipment, and more. However, according to Harrison, maintaining a positive mindset is crucial when planning for potential challenges. Instead of dwelling on hypothetical worries, he advises comprehensive preparation. Insightful and consistently engaging.
