Daryl Farmer's
Bicycling beyond the Divide

Where's Edward Abbey when you need him? Right here, my friend. In his memoir about two epic cross-country bicycle trips separated by twenty-five years, Daryl Farmer has created a tender, funny, and profound exploration, not only of the wonders of the western landscape, but of the troubled terrain of the human heart. Losing himself out there on the endless seam of two-lane blacktop, Daryl Farmer found himself — the 20-something who first took the trip and the forty-something man he would become. Bicycling beyond the Divide is a transformative book about the hunger for the road and for self-understanding. So where's Edward Abbey when you need him? Right here, my friend.
