Goin' across

the long version

What would possess a man enjoying a comfortable life and successful career to chuck it all for a renegade bicycle ride across the USA? The calling of a lifelong dream? Mid-life restlessness? Or was it simply seizing a chance to exchange the ordinary for an adventure of a lifetime? Goin' Across is the true story of an individual who chose to escape the clutch of affluence by pedaling from the Atlantic to the Pacific with little more than a bike and a tent. The book inspires with accounts of raw determination triumphing over setbacks and self-doubt. It rejuvenates as it displays languished patriotic pride being powerfully recharged. Mostly, it entertains with the quirky musings and humorous anecdotes of a biker who discovers not only his true self, but the soul of America, via a journey which tests the premise that the key to happiness lies in following one's dreams.
