Along part of the Divide, you will find the cyclists who make the trails their home as they push themselves beyond endurance to ride from Canada to Mexico.
After losing his dead-end job and realizing that he has been adrift for years, Bitner decides to tap into the part of himself that used to be driven toward excellence as a star athlete. But is riding a bike for weeks on end in some of the wildest terrain on earth the right way to do it?
As Bintner journeys, it isn't only the magnificent environments that challenge him. Brushes with wildlife, meetings with other riders, and profound mythic encounters cause him to question everything he knows, including who he really is. Bitner is on the most important bike ride of his life. At the end of the trail, he will have become a
new person…if he can survive that long.
