Over the next nine months she cycles 10, 000 kilometres all over North & South Islands while experiencing the wettest, windiest & stormiest year on record. During this time Josie was spat at, shouted at, honked at, & both run off & blown off the road. She got soaked, sunburnt, hailed on & snowed on & was alternately starved & over-fed, over-charged & under-charged.

In Long Cloud Ride, Josie brings New Zealand brilliantly to life. Warm, witty & acutely observed as ever, her latest adventure is sure to delight old & new fans alike. ...
