Description

Shortlisted for the Wales Book of the Year Non-Fiction Award 2020''Chappell is a gifted storyteller'' - ObserverIn 2015 Emily Chappell embarked on a formidable new bike race: The Transcontinental. 4,000km across Europe, unassisted, in the shortest time possible.On her first attempt she made it only halfway, waking up suddenly on her back in a field, floored by the physical and mental exertion.A year later she entered the race again - and won.Where There''s a Will takes us into Emily Chappell''s race, grinding up mountain passes and charging down the other side; snatching twenty minutes'' sleep on the outskirts of a village before jumping back on the bike to surge ahead for another day; feeding in bursts and navigating on the go. We experience the crippling self-doubt of the ultra distance racer, the confusing intensity of winning and the desperation of losing a dear friend who understood all of this.
