Part Time Nomads: Traveling the World by Bicycle, is part memoir, part travelogue, and one hundred percent ode to taking on crazy challenges no matter your age or life situation. The book focuses on our evolution from weekend cyclists to fully loaded, self-contained cycle international bicycle travelers. Averaging eight miles an hour, we braved rain and snow and junk food, learning hard lessons about bad maps, road-hogging motor homes, and the unpredictable road ahead.Mile by mile, our endurance and ambition increased. Soon we ventured further afield. Being together 24/7, attempting things we'd never done before, wasn't always easy. Our friends thought we were crazy, but loved our tales of plunging into icy rivers, singing to ward off bears, and tossing salad in a grocery bag. The people we met, in campgrounds and dive bars, were as memorable as the places.Animating these stories is the incredible rush of getting places under my own steam, being self-reliant, and re-learning that Jim and I worked pretty damned well as a team, reigniting a passion not only for cycling, but for each other.

Das schöne Tirol ist der Startpunkt des Lech-Radweges, der bis zu seinem Übertritt nach Deutschland ganz auf Tuchfühlung mit dem Lech geht. Die Fahrt führt durch eine der letzten wilden Flusslandschaften in Europa, durch die sich der gletscherblaue Fluss mit seinen malerischen weißen Kiesbänken und flankiert von hohen Bergen, seinen Weg bahnt. Das Naturschauspiel Lechfall markiert den Übergang nach Bayern, das die Reisenden mit seiner Bilderbuchlandschaft aus hügeliger Voralpengegend mit grünen Weiden, den prachtvollen Königsschlössern und blitzblauen Seen empfängt. Das lebensfrohe Füssen läutet dann den Reigen sehenswerter, historischer Städte ein, der sich nordwärts mit dem mittelalterlichen Landsberg am Lech und der Fuggerstadt Augsburg fortsetzt. Auf der Höhe des schmucken Städtchens Donauwörth mündet der Lech schlussendlich in die Donau und der Lech-Radweg in den Donauradweg.
