    With a cold beer swaddled in his sleeping bag, Jim Malusa bicycled alone to the lowest point on six continents, a six-year series of anti-expeditions to the anti-summits. His first trip took him to Lake Eyre in the arid heart of Australia. Next he followed Moses’ route from the valley of the Nile to the Jordanian shore of the Dead Sea, and then raced against winter through Russian farmlands, from Moscow to the Caspian Sea. Later journeys found him pedaling across the Andes to Salina Grande in Argentine Patagonia, and around tiny Djibouti to Lac Assal in the Horn of Africa. He polished off the “pits” by riding from his Tucson home to Death Valley. Malusa will read from his new book, Into Thick Air (Sierra Club Books), and show slides of the land and people along the road to the world’s great depressions.
