What a wild ride (pun intended)!

A man on a trike, a woman on a bike, hundreds of miles of trail, very little cycling experience... what could possibly go wrong? Sean Dietrich's You Are My Sunshine is a heartfelt, humorous ode to the literal lengths a man will go to for his beloved wife. The fear of her initial cancer diagnosis and renewed zeal for life sets the stage to see how a spouse might feasibly agree to such an undertaking. This isn't your backyard bike trail - they are faced with poorly marked trailheads, potholes and bumps, snakes and other bumps in the night, a trike literally falling apart at the seams, and degraded trail conditions so bad that even the locals say "don't do it." Not that any of that is going to stop Jamie, and where she goes, Sean is destined to follow. Their pedaling adventures are interspersed with poignant reflections on life and death, getting out of your comfort zone, in an attempt to understand the "why" of why people take on such monumental challenges.
