A noncyclist, Eloise Hanner joined the first Big Ride (sponsored by the American Lung Association), in which more than seven hundred bicycle riders crossed the country from Seattle to Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1998. To Hanner, the ride represented a new beginning fraught with challenges and opportunities.Starting from zero, she trained for several months to work up to where she could ride and average of more than eighty miles a day. What started as a bicycle odyssey, however, developed into a distilled version of life, where storms became life-threatening and strong friendships formed in days instead of weeks or months.More than a travelogue, Hanner's account of the inaugural Big Ride is an examination of career and values and what to do with the second half of life—a question asked by many baby boomers as they approach fifty.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 201mmItem Length: 131mmItem Width: 21mmItem Weight: 327gAuthor: Eloise HannerGenre: Travel & TransportTopic: BiographyRelease Year: 2000 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
