“But my life isn’t a book. It’s ordinary. And even though I want it to be more sometimes, it’s not. There are no film scores, no lighting effects, no A-list actors with high cheekbones. There is only us. There is only now.”

🚴Blurb:
In this true-life tale, master storyteller Sean Dietrich--also known as the beloved columnist and creator of the blog and podcast "Sean of the South"--shares their hilarious, touching, and sometimes terrifying story of the long bike ride to conquer The Great Allegheny Passage and the C&O Canal Towpath trail. As you laugh out loud through every hard-won mile and lose yourself in his signature poignancy, you'll experience a great adventure that, in the end, will remind you of what's most important in life, the value of keeping your promises, and the importance of connection in your most treasured relationships.

💭Thoughts:
This was just the fun, heartfelt, laugh out loud book I didn’t know I needed! I read this book in a day and smiled the whole time. It’s a great reminder that good people still exist and you’re never to old for an adventure!

I enjoyed learning about a part of the country that I’ve never visited and really know little about. I can tell you lots about trails in the PNW, but very little about the east coast.

I found the author’s fear of snakes so relatable! No high grass for me! I’m constantly on guard for snakes and there is no way I’m pitching a tent in snake country! 🤷🏻‍♀️

There are a lot of references to God and religion in this book. It’s not a focal point, but you can tell it is a big part of the author’s life.

Highly recommend for those who enjoy inspirational and adventurous nonfiction.
