I appreciated Peggy and Brian's switching off to give details of their shared experience, interspersed (what a word!) with her mom June's recollections of her own cross-country cycling adventure 40 years earlier. As an interesting gender reversal, Brian seemed to talk the most about how he felt, with Peggy's reports being more factual (although she does make it clear she's far from blind to her mother's ... ummm ... controlling nature); June was single - though travelled with an acquaintance - and rather a party animal, giving her accounts quite a different perspective.

I loved this story! I have the honor of working with Brian. He shares his stories of all the fantastic places he and his wife have visited. I have also had the pleasure of meeting Peggy and she seems like the nicest person in the world. They live such an adventurous life! I would have loved to have met June and listened to her stories. She is such a character. Not going to lie… I got misty eyed in a few spots in this book, especially when they reached certain important milestones. Such a fun read!
