O knihe

Author Nate Cross participated in the 2019 Tour Divide, a 2,745-mile mountain bike race along the Great Divide from Banff (Canada) to the border of Mexico. Unfortunately, due to an illness, he had to drop out of the race (1,000 miles into the journey). For a full year, his desire to return to complete this ride intensified, only to have the 2020 Tour Divide cancelled due to a worldwide pandemic (Covid-19). Despite this roadblock, the author returned to the area where he dropped out the previous year, to take care of some "unfinished business" by completing his ride. This is the story of both adventures. However, this book is about much more than his Great Divide ride. It is a reflective story about a series of personal events that changed the author's life through his abuse of alcohol, and his path to recovery. As an avid cyclist, he puts this ride and his past into perspective by sharing some parallels he discovered during his recovery (utilizing the Alcoholics Anonymous 12-Step Program), while completing his Great Divide ride. Additionally, this is a story of personal and spiritual redemption, resulting from a new mindset that not only helped him conquer the Great Divide, but also to become a better person, one day at a time. ALL PROCEEDS BENEFIT THOSE IN RECOVERY.
