The Ride: New Zealand and the Long Road Back to Health

by Judson Kempton Main

Overview

The Ride is one man's journey by bicycle through New Zealand, attempting to regain his health. Includes over one-hundred fifty (150) beautiful pictures of the country, and maps to guide you through the country.

Join him as he travels around the North and South Islands, including Queenstown, the Wanaka Air Show, Dunedin, the Whanganui River, White Island volcano, and the wonderful, relaxed small town of Whanganui.

Mr. Main describes his background, his health issues, and goes into detail on his life-long fight with Lyme disease.
