After his final year at university, Nathan Doneen wasn't satisfied with the direction his life was heading. He had doubts … he had questions. In June of 2013, Nathan set out on his mountain bike to search for answers along the Great Divide, a 2700-mile route that traces the Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico… and he set out alone.
Thrown into the world of erratic weather, cramped bivy sacks, and overwhelming solitude, Nathan was continually forced from his comfort zone, putting his personal growth on steroids.
With both his future and past in mind, Nathan's revealing and honest account illustrates the challenges of the route—and life—and how it's possible to find the strength and courage to move past them.
My thoughts: The story
progressed slowly, highlighting the events of a lost young man that led to a
series of thought-provoking questions that can’t be answered. Why am I not
happy? Why do I do what I do? Why are we here? And that’s what got him on a treacherous bike
trail to nowhere.
From then
on, it became a long journey of endless contemplation. There was really no story (or not much of it
anyways.)
My rating: 2 stars
