Riding Man is Mark Gardiner's memoir about leaving his advertising career to race in the Isle of Man TT, the world's most dangerous motorcycle race. In his forties and with little racing experience, Gardiner moves to the Isle of Man to learn the 37-mile mountain course and prepare for the event. He describes the island's people, the riders he meets and the risks of the race, and reflects on fear, ambition and chasing a dream.
