Publisher's Synopsis
VAGUE DIRECTION: A 12,000 mile bicycle ride, and the meaning of life.The road. A place to escape, learn, and grow. A place where experiences are had, and memories formed, all of which will stay with you forever.
This is the story of a year long North American bicycle journey. After all, there's a lot that happens when you get burned out, quit your job, sell everything, and leave to ride a bike for thousands of miles on another continent. You learn a lot - about yourself, about the fascinating people you encounter along the way, and maybe, just maybe, about life itself. From guns to God, death to happiness, bears to isolation, murders to crashes, frustration to joy. This book will make you reconsider life's priorities - it tackles some of the big questions in an entertaining and relatable way, and it may just inject a wanderlust and sense of adventure into your everyday thoughts. Come along with Dave as he rides his bicycle for a year, for more than 12,000 miles around North America. Along the way, he consistently meets remarkable people (such as Singing Cowgirls, Hunters, Drug Dealers & Movie Directors), and has an unforgettable experience which we can all learn from. --- "A wake-up call to anyone sleepwalking through life..." Boneshaker Magazine "Different from most cycling epics in the best way. It's more personal, often hilarious, and sometimes heartwarming, and it'll make you want to start your own adventure..." Molly Hurford - Bicycling Magazine "You don't even need to be a cyclist to be enthralled in Dave's experiences and reflections. Told with pace and charm, a wonderful account of a grand adventure." Mark Beaumont - RTW Cycling World Record Holder & BBC Presenter
