Two Wheels Through Terror by Glen Heggstad

Two Wheels Through Terror by Glen Heggstad

?Glen Heggstad is an adventure motorcyclist who seeks out and rides the most rugged places on the planet. He has been a Hells Angel and a martial arts competitor, but no amount of training or experience was able to prepare him for what he became while riding to the southern tip of South America: a prisoner. This book is the shocking travelogue of Heggstad's journey through Central and South America, including his capture by Colombia's rebel ELN army, and the eventual realization of his dream to complete his journey. Follow along on his exciting, round-trip to the tip of the world, made all the more amazing by its interruption at the hands of terrorists. Heggstad was ripped from his motorcycle, robbed of everything, and forced to march through strange jungles with assault rifles at his back. He was fed only small amounts of rice and water and forced to carry heavy equipment, heavy packs, and heavy doubts about his future. Even with all the hand-to-hand and sophisticated combat training Heggstad possessed, it was his shrewd thinking, precise planning, and a do-or-die last act of desperation that eventually secured his freedom.

Glen Heggstad went from being the youngest Hells Angel ever voted in to being an International Martial Arts champion after growing up in the San Francisco Bay Area. He's spent the previous two decades hitching through Ireland and riding throughout the Third World on his own. He's been featured on CBS News' 48 Hours, National Public Radio, MSNBC, Montel Williams, Larry King Live, and is the subject of a National Geographic Channel docu-drama after his terrifying captivity by Colombian terrorists. He keeps in touch with readers while on the road by posting travelogues on his popular website strikingviking.net. One More Day Everywhere (ECW Publishing, 2009) is his first book.
