About this audiobook
It is never too late to do something crazy wonderful. 'Your mid-life crisis doesn't have to be boring'. Eric De Jong, aged 60, took up mountain biking. The next thing he was making ‘pinky-promises’ with a fellow rider to ride from Cape Town to the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. Detouring off highways in search of roads less traveled, Cape Town to Kilimanjaro is about having fun, doing good and doing epic. Join Eric on his jaw dropping, foot cramping adventures through Africa and he’ll make you laugh, cry and will hopefully inspire.
