A Cyclist's Lessons for Living

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Ten thousand-plus bicycles and riders, the state of Iowa (which, contrary to unfounded rumors, is not flat), a United Church of Christ pastor, heat, food, and beer aplenty. These are just some of the elements of Crossing Iowa, in which pastor Robert Molsberry reflects on life in the context of the RAGBRAI experience. RAGBRAI, the Des Moines Register's Annual Great Bicycle Ride Across Iowa, attracts thousands of riders every summer, including political candidates, governors, Hollywood celebrities, and renowned cycling champions Lance Armstrong and Greg LeMond. Robert Molsberry has completed the ride for many years and has learned from it many lessons about community, food, discipline, challenges, and mortality. In Crossing Iowa he shares his reflections on these and other topics, offering a progressive Christian perspective on life in the fast and slow lanes of the twenty-first century.
