Imagine meeting someone who, within one month of dating, asks if you want to ride a motorcycle around the world.

After selling almost everything they own, Heather Lea and Dave Sears leave British Columbia, Canada, to ride down one road that leads to another, and another-until, two years later, they've taken their motorcycles through forty countries and across 58,000 miles-more than twice the circumference of the globe.

This is the story of a newly dating couple who test their grit-and their relationship-through some of the best and worst experiences of their lives.

Read how the two are shaped by their encounters with people and cultures; the ways in which they deal with immense mental and physical challenges; and what conclusions they come to after more than 700 days on the road together.

If you're looking for a raw-emotions read, an ambitious tale of strength and perseverance, a love story between a man, a woman, and the road, or an exciting armchair voyage, join author Heather Lea as she puts you on the backseat of her bike and takes you on a wild and crazy adventure.

Industry Reviews

"Combining lively dialogue and fascinating characters with just the right amount of reflection, thought and feeling, Riding Full Circle makes for a highly readable adventure story that will stand alongside the classics of motorcycle travel literature."

-Lois Pryce, author of Lois on the Loose, Red Tape and White Knuckles, and Revolutionary Ride

"Lea writes with honesty and humor, unafraid to reveal fear, frustration, and vulnerability alongside moments of triumph and wonder. This is a story of self-discovery, risk-taking, and redefining what it means to live fully. Fans of adventure travel and candid memoirs will find Riding Full Circle both inspiring and refreshingly real."

-Claudio Von Planta, documentary producer, filmmaker for Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman's Long Way motorcycle adventures
