{"product_id":"9781788161527","title":"Where There's A Will : Hope, Grief and Endurance in a Cycle Race Across a Continent by Emily Chappell","description":"Shortlisted for the Wales Book of the Year Non-Fiction Award 2020'Chappell is a gifted storyteller' - ObserverIn 2015 Emily Chappell embarked on a formidable new bike race: The Transcontinental. 4,000km across Europe, unassisted, in the shortest time possible.   On her first attempt she made it only halfway, waking up suddenly on her back in a field, floored by the physical and mental exertion.   A year later she entered the race again - and won.   Where There's a Will takes us into Emily Chappell's race, grinding up mountain passes and charging down the other side; snatching twenty minutes' sleep on the outskirts of a village before jumping back on the bike to surge ahead for another day; feeding in bursts and navigating on the go. We experience the crippling self-doubt of the ultra distance racer, the confusing intensity of winning and the desperation of losing a dear friend who understood all of this.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback \/ softback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43205537267890,"sku":"9781788161527","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/products\/9781788161527_78dbbfc8-413f-447d-98c5-c4917a4ace75.jpg?v=1699026514","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781788161527","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
