Into the North Wind

Into the North Wind: A Thousand-Mile Bicycle Adventure Across Frozen Alaska

"“Into the North Wind” chronicles Jill Homer’s record-breaking ride across Alaska on the historic Iditarod Trail. Ever since she discovered endurance racing ten years earlier, Jill fantasized about frozen wilderness with a wary eye fixated on the thousand-mile race to Nome.

In March 2016, she made the leap, but a barrage of failures left her ready to chuck her dream at the starting line. This memoir is not just a story about seeking beauty, overcoming setbacks and uncovering hidden strength — it’s a journey into the benevolent heart of the coldest, loneliest trail.

This full-color, 200-page paperback includes more than 200 photos of the Iditarod Trail and adventures leading up to the race. Signed copies will be shipped on or before Oct. 1, 2016.
