The Man Who Would Stop at Nothing

For members of the Iron Butt Association, long-distance motorcycling is an obsession. Melissa Holbrook Pierson offers a sharply observed portrait of this community, focusing on the enigmatic John Ryan and his penchant for record-breaking. In chronicling the pleasures and perils of this extreme endeavour, Pierson rediscovers her own passion and resolve.
