Pedaling Home: One Woman's Race Across the Arizona Trail (Revised & Expanded)

A woman returns home to bicycle race 750 rugged miles along the Arizona Trail from Mexico to Utah. Enduring bike failure and the death of a family member, Sarah treks through the Grand Canyon with her bike strapped to her back, while discovering what it means to be home. Her amazing story follows a quirky cast of endurance bike racers, interweaving adventure, philosophy, history, and family lore I loved this little book! It is full of wonder, adventure and an emotional journey. If you like adventure tales, this is a quick and fun read. The author is also a philosopher, so you will find wonderful little nuggets of wisdom sprinkled throughout. Sarah is an amazing woman - get to know her here and be inspired to go beyond your limits. ~ Apostle, Amazon Reviewer Great book that I will revisit, likely often. The writer/rider shared her experiences in such a way that I saw the world through eyes that could have been my own. Read this book if you know what it's like to compete or want to challenge yourself. It'll make you want to hop on your bike and ride further than you ever have. Or at the very least keep reading! ~ John, Amazon Reviewer A quick but really enjoyable read. I am always a little reluctant to read books about a cycle race, worried that there will be more focus on physical details: speed, kilometres, difficulty, and not so much on the actual story. However, there was a nice balance between that (which is great in the level that was in this book) and other details about the other, what was on her mind, her history, and so on. ~ Todd Tyrtle, GoodReads Reviewer *Ten percent of all proceeds go to the Arizona Trail Association, whose mission is to "protect, maintain, enhance, promote and sustain the Arizona Trail as a unique encounter with the natural environment" (aztrail.org).*
