Follow Michael and Stephanie as they pedal their way across small-town America on a fully-loaded tandem bicycle. Trans-continental rides are commonplace today, hundreds of cyclists of all ages complete them every year, but attempting one on a bicycle build for two throws a whole new monkey wrench into the equation (and marriage) To celebrate their 30th wedding anniversary, both Michael and Stephanie quit their jobs and head from Virginia to Seattle, almost 4300 miles of togetherness. Around every curve of the mostly country roads they follow reveals a new vista and lesson in the geography and history of our very diverse nation. Full of never before told tips, logistics, and advice from now very-well seasoned bicycle tourists, this lighthearted and humorous journal will inspire you to spread those maps out on the kitchen table, lube up that chain and slap on some butt butter. Whether planning a trip of your own, reliving your own dream ride, or just an arm-chair adventurer, you'll be entertained by anecdotes of all the people and places they meet along the way.
