I got it free, enjoying it now.
The author is a Mennonite man on a 5,000 mile cross country solo credit card touring adventure. Yes, his Christian world views and his spiritual journey are prevalent. As a man of faith I enjoy it but I also do agree that as a cyclist I'd like to have rundowns of the bike, gear, tips and tricks that worked for him etc.
Easy simple read and I'm planning on short touring of my own (with small kids wife and job its tough).


Remember that while interesting to a small minority of oddballs (us) a book written entirely about the nuances of packing bags, choosing gear, changing flats and shifting for hills would be barely readable. The scenery, interactions with other people and retelling of old adventures and memories is what makes it come to life.
