This book takes you on a 3,200-mile bicycle expedition from Missoula, Montana to Anchorage, Alaska. You'll read about my 73-day bicycle tour that was filled with adventures including a grueling ascent to Logan Pass in Glacier National Park, a scary standoff with a black bear in the Yukon, a daring dash through a forest fire, and a harrowing ride over the Top-of-the-World Highway.
