With a long-suppressed anxiety disorder starting to rear its head, he turned to the only therapies he knew and trusted: travel and exercise.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Setting off on his bike from the northernmost point of Shetland with only a sleeping bag and a camping stove, Simon would end up cycling 3,427 miles around Britain. En route, he would meet hundreds of resilient Britons, who were all, in their own way, riding out the storm just like he was. Even in his gloomiest moments he began to see that a chink of light was never too far away.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Riding Out is a story of optimism and hope, and a ground-level portrait of Britain as it transforms from a country in crisis to a nation on the mend. From Shetland to the Scillies, Dover to Durness, Simon learns that life's sharpest corners are best navigated at the gentle pace of a bicycle.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFormat: Hardcover \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Published: UK, 2022\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Publisher: Octopus Publishing Group\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Pages: 320\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e Language: English\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 13: 9781800074996\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e ISBN 10: 1800074999\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Simon Parker","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44113244324106,"sku":"","price":21.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0282\/6066\/3399\/products\/9781800074996.jpg?v=1673441074","url":"https:\/\/www.shakespeareandsons.com\/products\/riding-out-a-journey-of-love-loss-and-new-beginnings","provider":"Shakespeare \u0026 Sons Buchhandel GmbH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
