What I have been reading lately #2


To Dakar and Back - 21 Days Across North Africa by Motorcycle

by Lawrence Hacking with Wil De Clercq


I just started this book. It's about racing in the Paris-Dakar in 2001. The rider/author is Canadian. It has some pictures, unlike Ed McCabe's Against Gravity - From Paris to Dakar in the world's most dangerous race, which I read a few years ago. The pictures help. McCabe rode in an automobile and is an American, so that is another difference.
