I listened to the audiobook version (narrated by the author) and wow Anna McNuff is A TREASURE. I wonder if I would have found the written version as entertaining? Her personality shines through every word -- even the stuff that seems a little cheesy, she's so sincere, you just go with it. She doesn't ignore struggles, she just keeps going.
Anna never mentions being worried about having stuff stolen off her bike, so I don't know if she just wanted to focus on the positive or honestly had no problems. I am shocked she had only eleven punctures!
Definitely looking forward to reading her other books.

A question struck me as I started to write this review: do I lead with the rating or the disclaimer? The answer was easy. Wow! What a book! Solid 5 stars. I’d give it 6 if I could. OK, now the disclaimer: I’m an avid cyclist and I’m also kind of obsessive about reading cycling adventure books. That said, this book is so well written, with a message that would appeal to anyone with even the slightest bit of wanderlust in their heart (isn’t that all of us?) that I can unequivocally recommend it to everyone.
Anna McNuff has a keen eye and a deft way with words. This book describes an adventure that I would so love to be able to do – a bike ride through all 50 states – and in a way that I would love to be able to write. I know I should “never say never” but I really doubt either of those will ever happen, so it was a real treat to read her account of her epic ride. There were many ups and yes, some downs, too, but through it all her spirit and zest for life really shone through. I plan to read this one again when my wanderlust starts to get the better of me, as it so often does. Bravo, Anna! Great job on your ride and book!
