Lorin Nicholson The Amazing Bike Ride (book)Price: $12.95 The Amazing Bike Ride - A true story by Lorin Nicholson, illustrated by David Emerson. Not content to carve out a significant musical niche as the Blind Guitarist, Lorin has just published his first inspirational book. With three highly successful instrumental guitar albums to his credit, Brisbane-based blind musician Lorin Nicholson has now tackled the world of publishing and has written his first children's book. What makes The Amazing Bike Ride such a great read is it's the real life account of the seemingly impossible ride Lorin undertook as a 16-year-old school student from Tamworth to Port Macquarie. In just three days, he rode his trusty old mountain bike solo 275km across some of the steepest mountains in Australia - the Great Dividing Range - and at the time, he was legally blind with less than 10 per cent sight. This amazing story of courage and perseverance has been told thousands of times by Lorin as part of the motivational presentations he makes to school students and to corporate gatherings across Australia - and around the world. You will be captivated and inspired by this incredible true story. Who knows? Reading it could even change your life.
