Mondo Enduro’s Austin Vince to Guest on BlogTalkRadio’s Ride! - Interview Marks North American Launch of Book
Toronto, Canada, November 21, 2007 --(
PR.com)-- Ever wondered what it’s like to ride your motorcycle around the world on a shoe-string budget with a bunch of your friends?
That’s exactly what Austin Vince and six of his Brit mates did. As Mondo Enduro, they travelled 40,000 miles across 41 countries on 350-cc Suzuki dual sport bikes.
Their adventure lasted 405 days in a successful attempt to set an (unofficial) record for riding the longest land route in the shortest time.
Austin filmed their escapades in Super 8 and the resulting footage became a popular TV series on the Discovery Channel in Europe. Word has it that even Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman learned a thing or two from the Mondos.
Austin also edited the lads’ diaries, now collectively called Mondo Enduro: Around the World Adventure on Two Wheels. The book has just been published in North America by Whitehorse Press (www.whitehorsepress.com).
He’ll be in the Ride! virtual studio to talk about the wild and wacky adventures of team Mondo Enduro. Fans of the intrepid group can call 1-347-215-8723 with questions and comments during the Q&A session in the second half of the show.
The live 30-minute broadcast will air on November 21 at 3 p.m. EST on the BlogTalkRadio Network (http://www.blogtalkradio.com/ride).
