2700 Before 70

Sandra B. Griffin always had a dream. She wanted to ride her bicycle across the country. But it never happened.

At sixty-nine years old, Sandra gets the opportunity of a lifetime when her seventy-three year old husband asks if she has a bucket list.

She does-and the list has only one item.

So with her husband by her side, she sets out to make that dream come true.

Griffin shares her story in the inspirational memoir "2700 Before 70." Sure, they suffer plenty of setbacks-including twenty-one flat tires, a bent rim, and record-breaking heat in the California desert-but through it all, they persevere.

Along the way, they witness the country's beauty. From ghost towns in the desert to grasshoppers in Texas, from an Apache reservation to a special piano marathon by Roger Williams, they witness it all. And they make plenty of friends along the way.

It's a story about self-awareness, a travelogue that details the sights and sounds of our great nation, and, above all, it's a testament to the fact that we're never too old to make our dreams come true.
