Do you believe that life is a journey, a grand adventure? So did Jack Byrom. Despite a life of incredible "bad luck" and hardship, he managed to enjoy great adventures all over America and keep a positive attitude in all situations-and there are a lot of situations here. Read about his adventures as a bicycle racing fanatic, long-haul trucker, disabled person, and spiritual pilgrim. Who else would visit a convent in a 75 foot auto transport truck, watch a bike race sitting next to Olympic gold medalist Connie Carpenter, drive an 18-wheeler to a truck stop to meet his (future) wife for their first date, meet the Antichrist at The Ohio State University, or witness Cherenkov radiation with the naked eye? Sample chapter titles: I Decide to Visit Earth; We Climb the Lone Cone; The Ten-Speed; Colorado National Monument; High as a Kite from a Fluffy White Powder; Italian Operas, Shoes, and Bike Parts; The Old Man and His Bike; Hot Chicken Soup; Tour de Manhattan; I Get Gary and His Truck Home for Christmas; Truck Driver Visits a Convent; Carz in tha Hood; God Blessed Texas; A Visit to the L.A.

Read the inside story here on what it's like to drive an auto transport truck across America. Or are you someone that has ever wondered about bicycle racing or the Tour de France?
