She Rides

Chasing Dreams Across California and Mexico

Beschreibung

This deeply personal memoir of Alenka Vrecek's 2,500-mile solo bikepacking pilgrimage along the spine of the snow-covered Sierra Nevada and into the hostile desert mountains and plains of Mexico's Baja Peninsula-a story about crossing emotional, physical, and cultural boundaries-will inspire readers to follow their own dreams as Alenka followed hers.
