The Metal Cowboy rides again! His naratives make you feel like you are there, and his wife's comments are awesome and often hillarious in the way a wife can be when commenting on what their spouse says. A great read!

I really, really wanted to like this book. I'd read two others by the author and thoroughly enjoyed them. This one was such a letdown. Try picture yourself being trapped in a small room with a boring neighbor and being forced to watch hours of slides from their last vacation to Pig's Knuckle, Arkansas. This wasn't a great bike book as much as it was two individuals telling a story of their family vacation. The footnotes were irritating and not nearly as "cutesy" as they tried to be. Imagine sitting at an elegant restaurant with a married couple who are telling you about their trip and one keeps interrupting the other with comments that she thinks are hilarious. Now picture that your meal has already been brought to you so it's too late to escape.

Your family is only precious to you. Inflicting stories about them is mind-blowingly dull. I'm so sorry I wasted money on this book.
