Besides It's Not About the Bike which I liked a lot.
I've read Miles From Nowhere and I liked it a lot too.
Weird thing about reading that book my daughter and sil were on their honeymoon in Tahiti and Moorea just as I was finishing the book! That's where the bike journey finishes for the Savages too. When they came home and told me all about the islands I really felt I had been there too.
I have but yet to read this book; A Crossing by Brian Newhouse
A ride from the Pacific to the Atlantic. I'll keep it out and start reading it tonight. Thanks for the reminder!
And thanks for the good suggestions!Life is like a 10 speed bike, we all have gears we never use.

I second It's Not About the Tapas. I loved it, and wanted to run away and do a solo bike trip! Hubby and son vetoed that idea!
Cyclists know why dogs stick their heads out of car windows.

Finished Lance Armstrong's War which I really enjoyed...I rented the 04 TdeF so I could see some of the events he describes. Some inspired moments in that book. I think it is my fave so far.
I ordered the Krabbe book and another called , I think, The Need for a Bike....
I want to read the Llamas book...anyone want to do a trade?Discipline is remembering what you want.
