An Inspiration for Anyone Who Wonders If the Time for Adventure Has
Passed This is the story of a middle-aged businesswoman who left a
successful career to see if she could find something more
meaningful to do with her life. A noncyclist, Eloise Hanner joined
the first Big Ride (sponsored by the American Lung Association), in
which more than seven hundred bicycle riders crossed the country
from Seattle to Washington, D.C., in the summer of 1998. To Hanner,
the ride represented a new beginning fraught with challenges and
opportunities. Starting from zero, she trained for several months
to work up to where she could ride and average of more than eighty
miles a day. What started as a bicycle odyssey, however, developed
into a distilled version of life, where storms became
life-threatening and strong friendships formed in days instead of
weeks or months. More than a travelogue, Hanner's account of the
inaugural Big Ride is an examination of career and values and what
to do with the second half of life—a question asked by many baby
boomers as they approach fifty.
