Publisher's Summary

Eager for a "doable adventure", author Christopher Koch sets off on an impromptu 2,500-mile motorcycle trip down the Mississippi River from St. Paul to New Orleans in early November 2014 - ill-equipped and underprepared as an unexpected Arctic air mass, the death rattle of a Pacific super-typhoon, washes over the American heartland.   

While meteorologists struggle for superlatives to describe the record-breaking bitter cold, Koch pushes onward to overcome the weather, mechanical troubles, and his own hubris - and in doing so learns as much about himself as the hardscrabble landscape through which he rides. 

At once thought-provoking and hilarious, Welcome to Metropolis is the type of story you'll be tempted to share.  

Fans of Mary Roach and Bill Bryson may just find a new author to place on their must-listen-to lists.
