In this life, relish the highs, endure the lows, and savor the in-between times. Pedal into those sunrises that light the sky with promise. Savor those elegant sunsets with their exclamation point to a glorious day on your bicycle. Remember the good, bad, and ugly moments. Stand tall that you possessed the courage to explore the world on your iron steed. It carried you into your dreams where you traveled into those epic moments of wonder, awe, and majesty.
BICYCLING THE CONTINENTAL DIVIDE A Slice of Heaven, Taste of Hell "This story runs deeper than an amazing ride down the Continental Divide of the United States. The riders take their courage and faith to new heights as they compare their struggles up 12,000 foot passes to their bedridden friend struggling with cancer for his life. Along the way, you meet John Brown while learning about his bravery. You laugh at their exploits on other world tours with stories told around a campfire. This bicycle adventure offers the best for cyclists and armchair travelers." Charles Blackmer "Ever ride a bicycle along a cliff face? Have you sweated your way up a Rocky Mountain pass? Have you rubbed shoulders with Lewis and Clark on their Corps of Discovery 1803 expedition? Did you ever meet the famous mountain man Jim Bridger? Have you set eyes on the Grand Tetons? Watched Old Faithful explode into the sky? How about water falling up? Can you imagine a natural rock bridge 103 yards long? On this ride, you'll see all these historical figures, natural wonders and much more. This is a funny, compelling ride along the Spine of the Rockies." Paul Warneke "This bicycle dream ride carries a bit of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn. The author mixes hope with adventure, pain with courage and bicycling with mountains. John Brown, a friend left behind to battle cancer, provides guts and heart for his two friends who ride into the teeth of nature's fury. Along the way, you'll laugh, cry and gain new appreciations while pondering about the meaning of life. It's a great read!" Jeff Rockford
Nowhere in the world can you be arrested for having too much fun while riding a bicycle! Unless, of course, you read 'BICYCLING AROUND THE WORLD'! Whether you're 'flying' over 15,000 foot passes with two condors in the Andes, riding with an emu in the Australian Outback, facing a king cobra in Nepal or meeting a man walking across America on his hands, Wooldridge carries readers into the astounding world of long distance bicycle touring. From the first chapter to the last, you're riding on the edge of your seat with laughter and wonder. This is the best of 26 years in the saddle. If you've never smelled the breath of a grizzly bear in camp, you will. You'll find out how he discovered the 'Voluptuousness of Living'. Wooldridge meets fascinating men and women from around the globe that will astound and inspire you. This book mesmerizes readers with animal stories that bring a smile to your face. It will pain your mind and heart seeing the Third World. It chills you with a once-in-a-lifetime ride in Antarctica where you'll meet a family of Emperor penguins. Along the way, you'll find out that you have to go without a mirror, sometimes, in order to see yourself. The greatest aspect of this book comes from--expectation! Not since 'Miles From Nowhere' has a writer captured the Zen and Art of Bicycle Adventure as well as Wooldridge. Not only that, you enjoy a final section--'EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT LONG DISTANCE TOURING'. He shows you 'HOW TO LIVE THE DREAM'. You'll have the right bike, equipment, money and tools to ride into your own long distance touring adventures. If you like bicycling, you'll go wild reading this book. If you don't like bicycling, you'll still go wild reading this book.
"Few challenges throughout history will affect the course of human events like the topic of this book. Immigration, both legal and illegal, will determine if America is to survive as a viable, prosperous nation into the 21st Century or sink into the depths of poverty. Wooldridge offers a thorough examination of this topic with exhaustive research and critical thinking." Kenneth R. Hampshire, President, Advanced Health Group "This book is the first of its kind. The impact is powerful and undeniable in reporting damages caused by the immigration invasion. The human flood pouring over our borders carries disease, crime, violence, lawlessness and chaos. National security is endangered by the "Trojan horse" of immigration from which terrorists can strike from the inside. Immigration's Unarmed Invasion is our call to action. Michael E. Crowe, Virginia Coalition Against Terrorism "Wooldridge addresses a burning problem. The book is tightly researched and compellingly written. The consequences of excessive and illegal immigration are convincingly shown to lead to unacceptable conditions for the present and for future populations." Dr. Hans Matzke, former Head of the Physics, European Commission, Germany
