A solo bike ride across the country will be filled with sunshine, lollipops, rainbows, and 80 degree temps every day, right? Not so much. The Great Plains, Rocky Mountains, an alkaline desert, and the Sierra Nevadas lay miles and days ahead. Disappointment with unrealized potential, and the thirst for what\u2019s next drew farther away in the rotating wide-angle shockproof convex rear-view mirror.<\/p>\n<p>I will ride my bike down a never-ending ribbon of asphalt wearing a backpack.<\/p>\n<p>Cory Mortensen began his bike ride across the United States from Chaska, Minnesota, to Truckee, California, without a route, a timeline, or proper equipment. Along the way, he gained more than technical skills required for a ride that would test every fiber of his physical being and mental toughness. Ride along as he meets \u201cunusual\u201d characters, dangerous animals, and sweet little old ladies with a serious vendetta for strangers in their town.<\/p>\n<p>Humor \u25a0 Insight \u25a0 Adventure \u25a0 Gratitude \u25a0 Peace<\/p>\n<p>From long stretches of road ending in a vanishing point at the distant horizon, to stunning vistas, terrifying close calls, grueling conditions, failed equipment, and joyous milestones he stayed the course and gained an appreciation for the beauty of the land, the genius of engineering and marvel of nature.    <\/p>\n<p> Publisher                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 White Condor, LLC (August 10, 2020) <br \/> Language                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 English <br \/> Paperback                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 351 pages <br \/> ISBN-10                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1735498122 <br \/> ISBN-13                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 978-1735498126 <br \/> Item Weight                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 1.14 pounds <br \/> Dimensions                                    \u200f                                        :                                    \u200e                                 6 x 0.88 x 9 inches <\/p>\n<div id=\"product-summary\" data-hook=\"cr-insights-widget-summary\" class=\"a-section a-spacing-none\">\n<div class=\"a-section a-spacing-small a-spacing-top-\">\n<h3 data-hook=\"cr-insights-heading-label\" class=\"a-size-base-plus a-color-base a-text-bold\">Customers say<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"a-spacing-small\"><span>Customers find the storyteller fantastic and engaging.
