"One man's journey on a bicycle ride across country is the spine of Cycling Nomad 1982. However, the story is rich with life lessons that will remind you of your life ride. Dave Simon re-examines his summer of 1982 and his book will stir you to re-examine your life as well - because what is personal is universal." - Bob Delaney, retired NBA Referee, author of "Covert: My Years Infiltrating the Mob" and "Surviving the Shadows" In 1982, while living in Milwaukee, WI, Dave Simon bought a bicycle, accessories, camping gear, trained for several months, then rode across 3,500+ miles in the United States and Canada. Adding in extra miles where he caught rides or hopped trains, he covered a total of close to 5,000 miles over almost four months. This is his journey. Simon's account captures the core of the United States and Canada in 1982 in its people and scenery. The sweat, pain, discoveries, and joys will resonate with bicyclists and those wanting to break out of their day-to-day life and take on a tough challenge. But his chronicles are not just for the adventuresome. Simon's narrative of the journey is peppered with keen insights, ideas, observations and revelations that will stay with the reader long after the book is put down.
Autorenporträt
Dave Simon started writing for his high school newspaper and never stopped. In addition to his biking expeditions, Dave has journeyed through the written word at multiple stops in his life. He has self-published two books: 1) Bad Golf, a humorous take on why people continue to torture themselves by playing golf, written in an easy-to-read column format, and 2) Whistle in a Haystack, with former Division I men's college basketball referee Rick Hartzell. The book chronicles stories from Hartzell's big time basketball officiating career and is loaded with keen life insights and nuggets for any reader. Both are available by contacting Dave through his website at www.justwrite15.com. In addition to his books, Dave writes a weekly column that has appeared in newspapers in Pennsylvania, Texas, Illinois, and Nebraska since 1998, which he continues to publish on his website. His website also contains a "Bad Golf" blog, a "Meals We Steal" blog, and a weekly chuckle to loosen you up. Simon began his writing "career" in Washington, D.C., covering environmental issues while reporting on Congress and the Environmental Protection Agency for 10 years. For 30 years, he has written as a freelancer for Referee magazine, a sports officiating publication, and a basketball officiating newsletter put out by the International Association of Approved Basketball Officials.
