Forward: Overcoming Chronic Pain While Bicycling Solo Across the USA

by Daniel Randolph

Approaching the age of 60, lifelong cyclist and chronic pain sufferer, Daniel Randolph embarked on a solo bicycle journey across the United States. After a lifetime of dreaming about the freedom of navigating the country on two wheels, Daniel dipped his rear wheel in the Pacific Ocean and set out from Astoria, Oregon on his 4000 mile trek to Orchard Beach, Maine.

In his travelogue, Daniel documents the interesting people and places he encounters on his ride, offers valuable tips for others looking to complete their own journeys, and engages in the kind of reflection that can only happen on the open road.

Experience the scorching 100-degree rides through the Pacific Northwest, the glorious tailwinds across the Midwest Prairies, and the grueling climbs and treacherous descents through the mountains of the Northeast.

This is an inspiring story for anyone interested in long-distance adventures, and more importantly, it's a reminder to not be held back from big dreams by chronic health conditions or life's obstacles.
