The road headed west : a cycling adventure through North America
McCarron, Leon2014
Book
Terrified at the prospect of a life spent behind a desk, without challenge or adventure, Leon McCarron took off to cross America on an overloaded bicycle packed with everything but common sense. Over five months and 6000 miles, he cycled from New York to Seattle and then on to the Mexican border, facing tornados, swollen river crossings and one hungry black bear along the way. But he also met kind strangers who offered their food, wisdom, hospitality and even the occasional local history lesson, and learned what happens when you take a chance and follow the scent of adventure.
