BOOKS JOHNNY GINGER‘S LAST RIDE In 1996, Tom Fremantle began an epic journey, cycling from Swanbourne, England to Swanbourne, Australia, following in the footsteps of his ancestor, Captain Charles, founder of Fremantle port. His route led him through twenty countries, including Iran, Tibet and Cambodia, and Johnny Ginger's Last Ride is Tom's awe-inspiring and amusing account of his protracted travels. From a mood of despair in Calais to euphoria in the Middle East and from desperate illness in Nuristan to Christmas festivities in China, Tom's memories of a man named Johnny Ginger helped sustain him through a journey that was at times demanding and dangerous. Johnny was an inspirational character from Tom's childhood – an elderly man with an air of mystery who made a strong impression on the young boy that would eventually compel him to undertake this cycle ride. Johnny Ginger's Last Ride is a fascinating, exciting and funny portrait of a British man on a bicycle that will catch you up in its tow, take your breath away and pull you along on a wonderful trip to Australia.
