Embark on an unforgettable journey with Anne Breedlove as she shares how she and her husband traded their suburban routine for the open road—on two wheels! From navigating back roads after an indulgent meal to unexpected encounters with disgruntled sheep, their adventures reshaped their world and their place in it. Join us for an inspiring author talk and discover a whole new way to travel.

About the Author:  Anne M. Breedlove is the sixth of ten children born and raised in Albany, New York. Visiting San Francisco during a cross-country road trip in 1972, she decided to stay. A happenstance event in 1997 opened her eyes to the possibility of cycling not just for fun and recreation but using the bicycle as a means of international travel. In 2008 Anne and her husband Jim decided to retire young to travel as much of the world as they could on their bikes, visiting twenty-one countries and pedaling more than 40,000 miles.
