Enjoy an irresistible tale of one man’s solo, 1504.5 mile bicycle journey from a cul-de-sac in Thornton, Colorado, to the Canadian Border north of Eureka, Montana, following the Adventure Cycling Association’s Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR). Ride with John From Denver as he experiences the desolation of Wyoming’s Great Basin, remote backcountry forest roads, the beauty of scenic landscapes few have experienced. Share in the miracles of every encounter with fellow travelers who helped salvage his trip when mechanical failures threatened to end his quest for the border. For those considering the ride, learn about the equipment that worked … and didn’t work.
A wonderful mix of humor, insight, and adventure!

The Last Northbounder: A Mostly Truthful Account of John (from) Denver Riding a Bike 1504.5 Miles to Canada:
“WOW! I love how he writes. Still confused about his home/wife situation but what a cool guy! Just love him!”
“I read and loved the “magnum opus”! It’s great …. Easy to read, nice flow, fun, enjoyable, light, informative, and just all around very interesting.”
“long, warm, funny and quite interesting. Not the run of the mill …”
“There is an intimacy in what and how you write. You have a gift to say so much more than, 'the sunrise was lovely today', so the words bounce off the page.”
“By the way John, I would never forget our magical evening together!”
“... [she] just loves your writings. She just chuckles and talks about it and puts you somewhere close to Hemingway!”
