Hi,

I got chatting to a bloke about his recumbent today.

Conversation covered his book about riding across America. It sounds interesting, I thought I’d track a copy down. It would be Easy with the internet?

Now I’m crap at remembering names, so asked his name twice. All I remember is it’s John middle name last name. Thanks brain

I thought I remembered the name of the book “after the American dream”. Well it can’t be that, because I can’t find it.

He rode the route of the American pioneers over about 4 months looking for what the American dream is.

He said the book is out of print.

It’s a bit embarrassing to go an knock on his door to ask his name, especially having told him I’m crap at names and have already asked twice.

He said he was a contemporary of the Crane brothers who wrote journey to the center of the earth. If you haven’t read their book it’s available here

Journey to the center of the earth

Can anyone help?

Cheers
Martin

Thanks Disben!

I am in Notts.

There was mention of a dog that had passed away, which was why he had his bikes out of the shed.

Think its £3.99 on an ebook via that link…

My google skills are still on form…

Searched “book bike ride across america following american dream”

Also available second hand on Amazon…

I was searching for ” after the america dream” and cycling terms.
