A Half-Century's Rides - A Bicyclist Celebrates Fifty Years in the Saddle (Paperback)

In the summer of 1961, the author, aged 16, bicycled alone down the West Coast. In the summer of 2011, at the age of 66, he did the same ride again. Based on the original manuscript journal of the 1961 ride and the blog account of the 2011 one, this book tells the story of the two rides and the author's many other rides in the half-century that separated them.
