One man. One bike. One tent. One hell of an adventure.THREE-TIME INTERNATIONAL BOOK AWARD WINNER:GOLD MEDAL: eLit Book AwardsBRONZE MEDAL - Independent Publisher Book AwardsFINALIST - Book Excellence AwardsBiking from Alaska to Mexico solo is hard enough. But when you throw in bad weather, flat tires, hair-raising roadways, and unpredictable grizzly bears, only a fool would keep going.Fortunately, Jerry Holl was just the fool for this particular two-wheeled odyssey. Coming off a lifetime of corporate positions, he wasn't exactly prepared--his most trusted companion on the trip was a bike he didn't know how to fix. But inexperience and lack of a concrete plan didn't stop him. For fifty-one days, Holl pedaled his way across two countries, encountering everything weird and wondrous North America had to offer.Downhills Don't Come Free takes you through the ups and downs (literal and figurative) of Holl's ride. By turns amusing and reflective, self-deprecating and self-assured, it chronicles every aspect of the journey, from the breathtaking vastness of the Alaskan-Canadian wilderness to the fortitude, generosity, and eccentricity of the people he met along the way."...be prepared to want to quit your job and get out and see the world after reading this book--pedal on Kemosabe!"
