Old Men Bicycling Across America: A Journey Beyond Old Age

Praise for: Old Men Bicycling Across America: A Journey Beyond Old Age by Frosty Wooldridge 

“Hell of a good read! Wooldridge brings out the best in anyone over 60 who loves bicycling. He inspires readers with a certain elegance of word and deed. I loved his quotes and essays from other riders who love bicycling to the core of their being. Beyond that, he spins a hell of a tale with his buddies and their incredible moments along the Northern Tier of America. No matter if you’re 21 or 81, you’ll love this adventure from a physical, mental and spiritual standpoint. Just get out there onto the highway for your own bicycle adventure!” James Cochran

“This tale might be the bicycle version of the famous book, Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. The author delves into the energy of the ride from an old man’s perspective. Not only that, he waxes poetic from other travelers like John Steinbeck’s Travels with Charlie. What I liked is his story telling of “epic moments” from other rides that kept me on, what he calls, “the edge of wonder” while riding his bike. If you ride a bicycle and dream of world travel, you’re going to love this book. If you don’t love riding a bicycle or world travel, Wooldridge takes you for one hell of a ride while sitting in your easy chair.” Scott Hamilton

“I’ve read many travel books over the years. As a woman, I can say this book grabbed my heart. I love the courage of men. Their courage gives me more courage. I couldn’t put it down. I felt like I was riding with this bunch of old coots. Amazingly, they laughed, joked and sang songs around the campfire like they were a bunch of young guys. In

fact, other than their gray beards and bald heads, they acted like a bunch of young bucks. It was nice to see that you can outrun “old age” by pedaling your bike faster. Great read for anyone who loves adventure travel.” Ann Johnson

“Wooldridge brings stories of his “epic moments” to life in this book. As a man who has bicycled across six continents, he tells some humdingers. At the same time, he adds more epic moments to his life with the ones that occurred on this ride across America. How do you survive a 260,000-acre wildfire in Montana? Or, what about a trifecta moment to see Niagara Falls, rainbows over the falls and an eclipse of the sun? I loved his description of bicycling the Lewis & Clark Trail through the Columbia River Gorge. I felt like I was riding along with his buddies. And his Irish friend who played guitar during the entire trip, what a treat to sing along with them around the campfire. I could smell the smoke and ‘see’ the stars overhead. Great book!” Hank Curtis

“In this high-speed world, it’s nice to slow down to what Wooldridge calls “The Pleasure Pace.” Yeah, 12 miles per hour gives you a chance to enjoy every mile of the journey. Wooldridge’s compelling prose captured my imagination. I really felt like I was pedaling along with him and his friends. At my tender age of 30, I hope to be living such grand adventures when I reach his age. I liked his inspiring quotes at the head of each chapter. He covers so much ground with such grace and elegance.” Ann
