When author Carla Fountain set off on her year-long cycling journey, she expected new discoveries about the world. But she hadn’t anticipated a shocking rediscovery of herself. Bicycle Odyssey, a travel memoir, follows Carla and her husband, Dermot, as they embark on a challenging bicycling adventure that not only tests their survival skills, but ultimately their relationship. Armed with a will to persevere, they face unexpected danger and a cultural learning curve that nearly costs one of them their lives. In a time before modern conveniences, these two travelers off the beaten path lived disconnected from all communication. No cell phones to call home. No ATM for quick cash. No internet cafes to send a message. Relying solely on themselves, and a few helpful angels along the way, they experienced the lush beauty of Uganda, the welcoming people of Vietnam, the isolated mountains and hill tribes of Thailand, the terror of traffic in India, and the magic of Bali. Their journey did not end the moment they stepped foot at home. In fact, it continued for almost three decades as the couple digested the trip and acted on the lessons they learned. By telling their story, they hope to inspire and give confidence to others in pursuing dreams. Told with vivid observation about the world and the people in it, Bicycle Odyssey shares the story of a rich and enlightening pilgrimage.

Would you believe that a magazine article started the whole thing? After reading that article, Jake got excited and came up with his "Wild Hair". When he told his wife Kris about it, she wondered if he had lost his mind. She thought that his idea of riding their bicycles across the country was simply absurd. After all, they both had good jobs to think about, and they had a hard time just riding across town. But Kris finally changed her mind, and so began their amazing odyssey. Along the Way tells the story of their three month journey from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. It also tells about their year of training and preparations, during which they discovered recumbent bicycles. You've probably seen them, those long, low, sit down bikes that caused a stir wherever Kris and Jake went. Along the Way also tells about their unusual experiences, the interesting people they met, and some amazing places they visited. Join them as they ride over the river and through the woods, over the mountains and across the plains, to see this country as few others have ever had the chance to do.

When Lucy came across an advert for 'vegetarians to cycle round the world' she answered simply because she met the dietary requirements. Thus she found herself part of a group of people of varying degrees of eccentricity, who, as became apparent a few days into the trip, all had wildly differing ideas on what 'cycling round the world' meant. Over the next two years Lucy pedalled 30 000 miles with these strangers who became her closest companions. They thought they were being kidnapped, broke a shoot-on-sight curfew, one got held up by the world's most incompetent bandits and another got run over by the slowest-moving vehicle on the road. They were put into a trance by Indonesian dancers and accidentally became a star attraction in a Thai brothel. They stood on glaciers and gazed past mountain-tops to the infinite blue beyond, while eagles flew by so close they could hear the wind in their feathers. They learnt to trust in strangers, live in the present and say 'thank you' in 13 different languages.

Having been promoted to a top management position in the space R&D field, Colonel Ralph Monfort finds himself too far from the action and decides to give himself a fiftieth birthday gift-his own retirement from the U.S. Air Force. It didn't take him long to find his dream vacation-a yearlong, forty-one country, fully supported bicycle odyssey. After a short description on how one prepares for such a trip, Monfort plunges into this unique travel experience with energy, wit, and the excitement of discovery. Written as a series of e-mailed reports from the field, you will soon find yourself vicariously sharing adventures in Africa, Europe, and Southeast Asia as if with an old friend. Whether it's the pizza in France, the ruins of Rome, birding in South Africa, or the toilets of China, the gamut is covered and nothing is sacred in this global romp. Sprinkled with historical tidbits, odd anecdotes, and wry observation, A Year Without Underwear gives us an American "everyman" abroad.

A Bicycle Odyssey: Hope, R.I. to N. Fort Meyers, Fl. is a book of 157 color images with text. It all began with a thought from my daughter, Donnalisa, as she spoke the words; "Wouldn't it be terrific if we all had ten speeds and we biked up to Uncle Paul's next year. You see my brother Paul, at the time, lived in Watertown, New York. Everyone thought we were crazy. I did not even own a bicycle. However, the more flack I got from friends and family the more determined I became. Then Donnalisa 13, my son Joel 11, and I bought three Schwinn, Traveler III, ten speeds and they people nervous. Our plan was to practice for a year and then do the journey the following year. Everyone's thought then became; winter will come and the trip would be forgotten. Wrong, we bicycled right through the winter logging over 400 miles. The following June we started the journey to Watertown, N.Y. We completed the 367 mile trip in 6 1/2 days. The following year Joel wanted to do it again but I am not into biking over mountains. Seeing we biked through the Catskills, Berkshires, and Adirondacks, I said let's go visit Grandma Wolf instead. She lived in North Fort Meyers, Florida by the way. He immediately agreed with, "When do we leave." A Bicycle Odyssey shows how someone without even a bicycle, nothing but determination, can prepare and equip them self for a 1,678 mile bicycle journey. As the old saying goes, "Just do it."
