Book Rec--Bicycling Beyond the Divide: Two Journeys into the West

[SadieKate]

Just picked up this book over the weekend and nearly read it in one day. It's not so much a story about where he rides so much as what he learns about himself and others. At 40, overweight and sedentary Farmer re-rides much of the same route he did at 20, as a college drop-out.

Just a beautiful read. The fact that he rides through my beloved rural west doesn't hurt.

+1 on that recommendation, I loved this book too. I don't always enjoy the more "introspective" books but his story is written in a very readable way.

Anyone want to lend it? I will swap with llamas and empanadas, which I have a copy of...
