Author Description

This compelling memoir shows how two parents, their 17-year-old son and 16-year old daughter pulled together as they cycled 1,000 kilometers from east to west across Spain. Parents will love this heartwarming success story, and mountain bikers will drool over the gorgeous descriptions of the trail the family rode through mountains, plains, plateaus and plazas. Jennifer Kulier writes: "This is an amazing story about a remarkable family. As a cyclist, I've fantasized plenty about embarking on a cross-country cycling adventure in a foreign land. Martha Kendall and her family actually did it! Their journey is an inspiring reminder to pursue all your dreams - even the most implausible - and to take your family along for the ride!" According to reviewer Michael Booth, "Martha Kendall is a consummate parent, wife, teacher, and writer.... The title of the book is a double entendre. It's about a bike trip, but also about a life." Psychologist Craig Humphrey says: "In this engaging narrative woven with humor, intimacy, bonding and self-realization, Martha Kendall personally reveals the process of a seemingly lost art, that of deeply sharing the journey of a nuclear family."
