"Biking from Oregon to Maine is no small feat, especially for two newly retired women who carry everything they need for three months, powered only by the strength of their legs and a desire for adventure. Alice Honeywell and Bobbi Montgomery invite readers to follow their ride by bicycle across the United States, as they face scorching sun, driving rain, buffeting winds, equipment failures, killer hills, wildfires, and even a plague of grasshoppers. As Alice and Bobbi pedal along their 3,600-mile journey, they test and deepen their friendship, defy their aches and pains, experience the vast and varied beauties of their country, and discover the challenges and satisfaction of a scaled-down lifestyle ..."--P.

Very, very similar to David Lamb's "Over the Hills". We rode from here to here, had to repair a flat, got a ride over a bridge, ate great pancakes here, talked with the locals about the best route to someplace, stayed overnight at this place, etc. Love the spirit embodied by these retired ladies! I found it interesting that they included rather complete lists of how they equipped themselves and their bikes for the ride. Would love to do it myself someday! ( )

I loved this book. I read it for the Facebook group, Women's Adventure Travel. This is probably my favorite type of book - adventure travel. It is about two "older" women, Bobbi and Alice, who retire and then take off 3 months to travel by bicycle across the northern part of the U.S., from Oregon, to Maine. They chose this route because they wanted to pass through Wisconsin and Ohio, where each was from. They planned this trip for over two years, and prepared themselves physically by extensive bicycling over those years. They left their husbands at home, but did see them at various times during the trip. I have always wanted to cross the US by bicycle, but figured by the time I retired, I would be too old to do this. But after reading this book, I think it would be possible, if I still wanted to do it then (4 years from now)!

The women met lots of nice people during their travels and had many positive experiences and even stayed friends afterwards! They planned on camping a lot more than they did, but eventually they ended up staying more in hotels. They rarely stayed with friends.

I recommend this book, if you like travel adventure books, especially bicycle adventure! ( )
