MASTER OF CYCOLOGY!
GOOD, LIGHTHEARTED READING, WHETHER OR NOT YOU CYCLE.
Bicycle Journeys with Jerry
by Jerry Dusterhoff
"Life is a journey." This first line of the book sets the tone of using cycling as a method of sane survival in a stressful world. Aerobic exercise combats stress, but is such an easy habit to break. Two keys to success are friends and variation. Jerry provides a blueprint by describing the places he has gone and his experiences both on and off the bike. Travel along as he:
* Safely cycles in spectacular scenic areas of the USA
* Joins cycling tours and meets great friends
* Learns how to climb mountains and conquer hills
* Achieves the best physical fitness in his life
* Fits cycling vacations into hectic everyday living
* Transitions from travel-phobe to touring cyclist
Jerry Dusterhoff has ridden coast to coast, completed numerous centuries (100 miles in one day), and especially enjoyes one week vacations in some of the most spectacular scenic wonderlands in the USA. He continues to plan great cycling vacations.
