Presale ofHistoires à dormir dehors 2

FINALLY ! I am moved and proud to present to you Histoires à dormir dehors 2 ! 📘

The writing of the first volume, in Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia, had convinced me that I had not yet gone to the end of my cycling adventure. After driving from Europe to Southeast Asia, I still had the other half of the globe to discover.

I left again. I met Gretzky in China, rode in a Brazilian billionaire's helicopter and descended deep into a mine in Bolivia. That and 75 other chapters!

Histoires à dormir dehors 2 officially hits all bookstores on February 16. My writing spanned two years, the last year almost full-time. It was hard. I racked my brain, re-read myself dozens of times, changed commas, selected photos, changed my mind. I took chapters out and put them back in, then re-read the whole thing for the 60th time... In the end, I couldn't be happier with the result: the book is exactly what I wanted to do.

By February 9, Vélo Québec you do take advantage of a presale which includes my autograph and free shipping. 

For in-person signings and celebrating with me, two launches are coming up:
Thursday, February 16, 17 p.m., House of Cyclists, Montreal
Thursday, February 23, 17 p.m., Le Chenail Cultural Center, Hawkesbury (Ontario)

Hope to see you !

Nicosie : la capitale divisée de Chypre
Nicosia: the divided capital of Cyprus

Nicosia is, a bit like Berlin in the past, cut in two by a long wall that crosses the entire Mediterranean island. While the Cypriot government claims all of the territory, the northeastern third of the country has been under the control of the self-proclaimed Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus since 1974.

Impossible to miss the vast Gatineau Park which, on the map of the Outaouais, expands like smoke from a campfire. By combining it with the cycle paths of la Route verte, I was drawn to its many trails, lakes, and stretches of forest that seemed to invite me personally.
