Marilyn Across America: The Continental Divide Ride

By Jeff Fletcher

One evening a motorcycle and a man are camped in Colorado. By midnight everything has changed.

The History of the American West merged with travel on two wheels, all wrapped around a girl that cannot be courted but will not be forgotten.

Jeff Fletcher takes us on a desolate journey along the Continental Divide where a motorcycle named Marilyn comes face to face with a tumultuous past. Native Americans, Mountain Men, the Mexican Military, Spanish explorers seeking gold and Politicians all combine to expose one mystery after the next.

"Jeff Fletcher has written a lyrical tale that includes redemption, bushels of lessons and hard-won wisdom (the wisdom that the less wounded leave by the side of the road), humility, courage, love and friendship, and the joy of getting where you're headed to discover the journey must continue. I look forward to his next adventure.
-Jim Pilgrim

Follow along on a life-changing, fifty-five-hundred-mile ride on a motorcycle named Marilyn. "A very relaxing read. Made the mistake at first to zip through it as I have never been a book reader. Then, I slowed down and read every word. It put me at ease, as the author goes through years of preparing for this great motorcycle adventure. Superb advice for a beginner or an experienced rider who can benefit greatly from Jeff's experience. I learned a lot. Turn off the TV and enjoy this relaxing read!" -MARK SAMPSON OF BIG DOG ADVENTURES

Believe it or not, there are more miles of back road dirt in this country than interstate highway miles. There are more remote places where one can get blissfully lost than there are fast food joints. Marilyn Across America will take you for a ride on some of the most remote roads in America, where pavement is limited and epic adventure lies around every bend. See what it's really like to spend a month on a motorcycle. Read about planning a route, packing, choosing a motorcycle, navigation and the hardest part of all, leaving home. "I enjoyed this book. An easy read, this book will encourage you to seek Adventure. Not the hype but a simple reminder that Adventure is just outside the door. And if you open the door you will never be the same again..." -BRUCE CASEY

"If you ride or have ridden trail bikes during your lifetime and have never heard of the Trans America Trail, you need to expose yourself to the trail by reading this book. After reading Marylin Across America, I'm already debating which trail bike I would want to acquire to ride the Trail. The idea of seeing America from dirt roads and not from a super freeway, seeing it almost the way one would have seen it 100 years ago, is supremely appealing for some reason. The people that you will meet, the sights you will see, this book will both prepare you and encourage you. -A FELLOW RIDER

"The storytelling compels us to continue the read, ready our bikes, and eventually, hit the road to our own adventure. Thanks for the motivation!" -WADE "THE WANDERER"
