Excellent Read

I have all of Ron's books. His first (Against the Wind) is the apex of the lot but "Against the Clock" is engaging and entertaining; worth the cost of entry. I followed Ron's exploits as he was doing the ride; reading reports from his "home base" (family) as well as those who met him at stops along the way (some of their photos are included in this book). While reading this book the shouts of, "Go, Ron. GO!!!", ring in my head as they did while the ride was taking place.

Against the Clock

I purchased this book for my husband because he has other Ron Ayres books. He enjoyed it very much.

Highly Recommended for Soothing Walter Mitty Streaks

As good as Ron is at setting motorcycle endurance records, he is in a class by himself when it comes to successfully engaging the reader's interest in his travels and experiences on the road. Note to Peter Matthiessen, "Watch out!"This is a great read for enthusiasts and arm chair endurance riders alike. I highly recommend "Against the Clock".
