Pedaling into the Unknown

Grief was gnawing at me, trapping my body in a cycle of pain with no offer of relief, making me restless and not letting me go. I desired liberosis, to care less about things. I desperately sought inner and outer liberation. I was having sleepless nights. My soul knew the solution, but my body was not listening until the moment came when I just longed to leave. I wished to free myself from this situation, wipe it from my being, and surround myself with the wilderness.


The wilderness was my church, where I went to heal my hurt. It understood me. Bathed in nature, I rid my mind of unpleasant thoughts and eased myself of the injustices that had incapacitated me, depriving me of peace. The only energy I had left in me, I used to leave, just go and be free. The wilderness enabled me to breathe once more, to really breathe, and when you own your own breath, no one can steal your peace!


And so the adventure began, mountain biking from Canada to Mexico off-road, climbing a total elevation higher than Mt. Everest and escaping predators – for my honeymoon!

Sally Fenner

Sally Fenner is an adventuress, a tom boy, and an intrepid traveler. She always has been, and she probably always will be. Perhaps she was just born that way. From starting to ride horses at two years old, to sky diving, bungy jumping, diving with sharks in South Africa, scuba diving and surfing all around the world, competing in snowboarding and endurance horse racing, representing her country abroad, she has experienced many varied adventures. She has lived in Australia, New Zealand, France, and England and, always up for her next adventure, she did not hesitate to conjure up the best one yet, riding her mountain bike across the Rocky Mountains, off-road for her honeymoon! Which is how this book came about.
