About

 Neil Peart cycles his way through West Africa and brings us along with him, dysentery and all.  The Masked Rider details his physical and spiritual journey with photographs, journal entries, and tales of adventure.   Peart's "masks" are the masks that we wear — civilization, psychology, labels, expectations — and his book reveals how traveling in a very foreign land allows us to peer beneath them.
