You Can’t Ride a Bike to Alaska. It’s an Island! “You’ll never make it!”

With encouragement like that, author Mickey Thomas, in a fit of youthful testosterone, and meticulous inattention to detail, decided to embark on a once-in-a-lifetime 3,400 mile bicycle ride from Montana to Alaska.

While riding through knee problems, illness, homesickness, infatuation, bad weather, and meeting a host of quirky and hilarious characters, Mickey, and his group, rides over some of roughest roads and most desolate scenery in North America. Along the way, he discovers an inner strength as well as a new physical stamina he never had.

The book is laugh-out-loud funny, but it is also a celebration of the human spirit, and of the last great North American wilderness.

Customer Review: Looking for a challenge?
I highly recommend this book for anyone who has thought of taking an adventure bike trip.

I felt like I was on the trip with Mickey, without enduring the pain. I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book.
