Bicycle Journeys with Jerry: Recreational Cyclist Recounts Experiences From Vermont to the Pyrenees by Dusterhoff, Jerry Format: Trade PaperbackPublished by Acyclist Publishing, 2008 Jerry is an Average Joe. His exercise of choice is bicycling and he describes progressing from cycling in his neighborhood to taking cycling vacations in the scenic areas of the country. Tourist stops like Glacier National Park, the Cascades, Southwest Utah, Oregon, Georgia, and Vermont are all places he has cycled. His most ambitious trip was riding coast-to-coast, and he convinces you that this achievement can be accomplished by just about anyone with the determination to try. Jerry characterizes his book as nuts and bolts because, in recounting his adventures, he relates what an average cyclist should know if they want to join in on the fun. He whimsically uses cycling racing terms, such as calling his chapters "stages" and the Table of Contents "My Palmares." The reader will be easily caught up in the descriptions and will be inspired to start planning his adventures. Resources are included for just that purpose.
