At age 68 the Author biked solo from southern Florida to the Canadian border, through 9 states and the Appalachian Mountains on this 1,668-mile adventure. With quick wit and a natural knack for good storytelling, the Author shares this wonderful journey, describing beautiful surroundings, personal philosophy and some of the obstacles, never taking himself too seriously and never underestimating the value of preparation. He finds a warm and gracious America and describes these experiences. There are tense moments, to be sure, but moreover this story dispels myths about personal age-related limitations and describes a country rich in human and natural resources and beauty.
