Freeze, David

Across America another time? This time along the southern border through desert heat with few supply points? Why would anybody want to do this, especially in the summer? David Freeze was ready for a big challenge, and he wanted to see some of America he had yet to visit. Organized and experienced, Freeze took his trusted Surly Long Haul Trucker bike west to San Diego, ready to begin yet another solo cycling journey. Up and down, mostly up for the first 1,000 miles, David battled extreme heat, endless challenging terrain and long distances between supply points for most of the next 3,000 miles over 43 days. Meet another unusual cast of characters along the way as he visits California, Arizona, New Mexico, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. David mixes his faith and unusual determination on this often extreme journey, sometimes just a few feet from the Mexican border. David makes you feel as if you're riding next to him, while mixing his down-to-earth writing style with plenty of enjoyable humor.

Crossing America, One Convenience Store at a Time

Just two states remain. Never one to take the easy way, David decides to ride from Nevada and go grab Alaska on his way to 50 states cycled. He rides through parts of California, Oregon and Washington again, this time south to north, continuing on into British Columbia and the Yukon. 
Encountering wilderness and wildlife, long miles between supply points and challenges galore, David gets as much as he wants on this 3,174-mile trip. He spends 39 days on the bike and averages more than 81 miles a day over mountainous and remote terrain. At an average of 10 miles an hour, David meets a continuous stream of cyclists from other countries, and plenty of interesting folks otherwise. He pushes on to Alaska, America’s — and his — 49th state.
David’s faith carries him through bear encounters, weather extremes, worsening road conditions and something called wild camping. Spectacular scenery, possibly more than any other of his cycling adventures, is as common as battling mosquitos and huge flies. 
Ride with David once again as he details his adventures with humor and an easygoing, down-to-earth style, just as if you were on the bike seat next to him.

Americas

Where to this time? With 39 states cycled including the District of Columbia and a venture into Canada, one big ride remained that would encompass the great Northwest, from Washington to Wisconsin. While sometimes called the Northern Tier, especially in cycling circles, this area had intrigued David for several years. With earlier ventures into Oregon, Idaho and Montana before heading south and east on the way to the Atlantic coast as part of the 2013 cross country journey, David wanted to see more. In fact, isn't that what this is all about? Wanting to see more of this great land at a pace of 10-12 mph, this time visiting the Dakotas, Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin on bicycle for the first time. Over 40 days and just short of 3,000 miles, ride along with David as wind and weather provide unusual challenges over a sparsely settled and especially scenic portion of our great country. There is another cast of great characters along the way, a few on bikes but most who aren't. Experience yet another round of how David's faith helps him persevere as the miles pass by. His writing style is down to earth, enjoyable and with plenty of humor. Let's go riding again!
