Imagine reading a "Cycling Companion Wanted" ad in a bicycling newsletter for a cross-America bike trip, answering it, and setting off two months later with a woman you just met for a 3,500-mile, 60-day journey from California to Washington, DC. Taken from Virginia's journal this tells the story of two twenty-nine year old adventurers who fulfill a common dream. She recalls exhilarating roads and landscapes, tedious miles, peaceful times, scary experiences, personal struggles, wonderful encounters with people, and the unfolding of a journey of a lifetime. VIRGINIA MUDD, a California native, has followed her heart into many diverse arenas-politics, business, education, the arts-as well as numerous bicycling adventures. Beneath it all has flowed the deeper call to self-discovery and personal knowledge of the divine. Virginia is also the author of "Bicycling Home, My Journey to Find God" from Sunstone Press. She lives in New Mexico with her husband and family of beloved animals.
