The Road to Mali

The Road to Mali
Edition year: 2015
HorizonsUnlimited description:

This is not just an absorbing narrative about a single trip into North Africa. It
outlines a series of events and circumstances between 1991 and 2005 which
combined to lead three riders to an isolated road junction in Mali, in the
middle of a baking hot baobab forest. One of those did not survive the journey.

It’s the story of the exhilarating world of motorcycle politics in the 1990s, of
two separate yet intertwined adventures into West Africa, and of a Round
The World ride that ended in tragedy, yet which inspired hope, and improved
the health of thousands in developing countries.

‘The Road to Mali’ started long before the African adventures themselves.

In his foreword to Craig's book, Sam Manicom wrote:

Every motorcyclist knows that crossroads are where adventures
come to life and usually we are the ones calling the shots. Faced
with a choice of which way to go, it’s up to us to make a decision.
Usually the route chosen on the road, or in life, allows us to explore
our dreams and ambitions. But sometimes we find ourselves at a
crossroads with no idea just how much life is going to change;
events are beyond our control.

This is the story of how one inspirational man affects the life of
others in unexpected and unforgettable ways. The impressive man
is Simon Milward, and the author of this intriguing book is just
one of the people whose lives were dramatically affected by his
unique personality, courage and determination.

In ‘The Road to Mali’, Craig Carey-Clinch brings an important
part of motorcycling history to life. I found myself irresistibly
fascinated by this book of crossroads, adventures and respect. I’ve
no doubt that this journey will surprise, challenge, amuse, inform
and thoroughly entertain you. It’s a true tale of the unexpected.
