Description

An entertaining account of an active retiree taking a solo and self-supported 15-day bike trip around Lake Michigan, starting from and finishing in Chicago. The adventure began with McShea crossing the southern rim of the lake, riding up the lake's eastern shore through Michigan, across the Upper Peninsula, and finally south along the lake's western shore through Wisconsin and back to Illinois. McShea averaged more than 75 miles a day, sleeping in motels each night and eating at unique restaurants along the way. McShea also raised money for the Danny Did Epilepsy Foundation, which provides seizure monitors at night for kids afflicted with epilepsy. Each day became a chapter in this inspiring story of crazy weather, fascinating people and beautiful cycling routes. Readers are treated to funny geographic and historical stories along the route. If you think you're too old to ride more than 1,100 miles over 15 days, let the story of John McShea inspire you to "go the extra mile"!
