Accompany three forty-something biker chicks as they cycle across America. For fifty-nine days, Kathy, Cindy and Mary Anne pedal 3,150 miles through ten states, from California to Virginia. Their journey takes them through lush green valleys, up steep mountains, by farms, and past desolate rangeland. On the road they battle inclement weather, intense heat, fierce headwinds, nasty dogs, aching bodies, and flat tires. Their inner strength, their determination, and the kindness of strangers sustains them along the way. They discover small town America, a diverse, beautiful country, and themselves. This book will inform, entertain, and inspire you to take to the highway and discover America.

Review
What a delightful joy ride you will be in for as you read this terrific book about three women in their forties who take a two-month cycling trip from California to Virginia. Reminiscent of Charles Kuralt's award-winning TV series, 'On the Back Roads of America', Kathryn Krull, wife and mother of twin teenagers, tells with humor, joy, and beauty of the sights she and her biking buds pass along the way; the kind, friendly folks they meet, and the little-known historical facts they learn on their cross-country trip. And if this isn't enough, the book is chockfull of information for anyone who wants to take a long bicycle trip. This is a treasure of a book, no matter whether you've ever been on a bike or are a seasoned cyclist. For me, the best thing was that when I finished the book, I felt like I'd taken the trip with them except that my legs weren't one bit tired! --Arlene Uslander, author of 14 books, including 'The Simple Touch of Fate'

This review is from: How Big Are The Pancakes? Three Biker Chicks Cycle Across America! (Paperback)
I really enjoyed reading, "How Big Are the Pancakes". I read a little of this book each day at lunch, anxious for the next chapter. I've secretly wanted to cycle some distance across a U.S. map, can't even image coast to coast. Her tales of the road are fun, honest and reveal unique details that bring this experience to life.
