Two Wheels Through Terror: Diary of a South American Motorcycle Odyssey Product Description
Only weeks after the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001, Glen Heggstad set out from his sunny California home vowing not to return until he had accomplished his life-long goal of riding a motorcycle around South America. Upon crossing into Mexico, he wondered if he was riding away from the fire, or directly into it. Not long after, when he was stopped at a roadblock in the remote jungle of Colombia, he found his chilling answer. The EjTrcito de Liberaci=n Nacional (ELN), Colombia's deadliest rebel army, funds its terrorist activities by taking captives for ransom. When the six-foot-four hulking American on a loaded and customized motorcycle rolled up to the terrorists' roadblock, they thought they had struck gold. Dozens of dirt-covered, sweat-soaked, desperate men with AK-47s frantically grabbed Glen off his motorcycle, and with their new American prisoner, disappeared into the jungle. The weeks of physical and psychological torture Glen is forced to endure push this powerful man to his absolute breaking point. It is the desperate decision he makes one wet night while curled up on a muddy hut floor, panicked for food, and questioning his own sanity, that finally wins him his freedom. Without a second thought, but with more determination than ever, Glen remounts another motorcycle and continues his incredible journey. Heggstad battles kidnapping, mechanical failures, violent protests, and some of the planet's most inhospitable climates, in this American odyssey. Two Wheels Through Terror is the terrifying gripping true story of Glen's motorcycle journey to the brink of death, to the edge of sanity, and to the southern tip of the world.
