Bill Fowler presents A Grandfather’s Solo Bike Ride Across America;

With pictures, Bill tells of his solo adventure in bicycling across America at the age of 66. He recounts the dangers, trials, tribulations, fatigue, and despondency endured. His story also sings with the joy and exuberance only an exciting adventure can bring forth as well as the beauty, friendships, thrills, excitements, and people encountered.

When taking on an epic adventure of this sort remember, “how does one eat an elephant? One bite at a time.”
