Very Witty and Entertaining
This is a fantastic tale of two friends on a bike ridding adventure with poetic undertones highlighting the joys and difficulties of life. This is very well written and enjoyable. I highly recommend it to anyone that is an outdoor enthusiast or appreciates a good story.
Good Story
For some reason I thought this book was going to be about finding the 6th person on some sort of biking team. It is not. It is a wonderful story about biking, and eating, and napping, and having that one friend you can always, always count on. Oh, and "#6".
Fantastic writing and good production.
Enjoyed the traveling story
