As documented in the Boston Globe Newspaper in September 2015, this is the story of a solo unsupported bikepacking adventure from Seattle to Boston to fulfill a childhood dream. With a week of planning, John Brown embarked on a 40-day solo bike ride across the country and discovered more of America and himself than he expected.
This is the back story of the bike ride that the Boston Globe didn't cover. This story is all of the hard work, heartbreak, humor, and danger encountered along the way. As a seasoned hydrogeologist and adventurer in other outdoor activities, the author provides a novice bike rider's perspective of the interconnecting cycle paths and rail trails he took across America. The author adds his observations of the environmental impacts, geology, mountains, history, and rivers intersected on the journey. The author provides maps showing the routes, towns, rail trails, rivers, and cycle paths he pedaled from Seattle to Boston, and recounts many of the challenges that can be expected on a bikepacking tour of this magnitude.
