Welcome To Metropolis : Riding Solo Into The Heart Of America

Eager for a "doable adventure", author Christopher Koch sets off on an impromptu 1,500 mile motorcycle trip down the Mississippi River from St. Paul to New Orleans in early November 2014- ill-equipped and underprepared as an unexpected arctic air mass, the death rattle of a Pacific Supertyphoon, slams into the American heartland. While meteorologists struggle for superlatives to describe the record breaking bitter cold, Koch pushes onward to overcome the weather, mechanical difficulties, and his own poor decision making, and in doing so learns as much about himself as the landscape through which he rides.At once thought-provoking and hilarious, "Welcome to Metropolis" is the type of book you'll be tempted to read out loud. Fans of Mary Roach and Bill Bryson may just find a new author to place on their must-read lists.
