A Simpler Time: Transcontinental Bicycle Tour 1991

By Jim Cochran

During the summer of 1991, just after graduating from the University of Northern Iowa, Jim Cochran and his best friend, Pat McKay, set out on a transcontinental bicycle journey that took them from Seattle, Washington, to Washington, D.C., over the course of 48 days. A Simpler Time is the story of their travels, a compilation of detailed journal entries Cochran made during the trip. It's the story of the people they met and the friends they made; reflections about the beauty of our country; and a documentation of personal triumph in the face of a great physical trial and perseverance. Throughout the book, Cochran also explains the fundamentals of bicycle riding and touring. This work is proof that every time he gets on a bike, Cochran is transported to somewhere or nowhere on a ride that sets in motion the creation of another fond memory.
