Just the Two Us

In Astoria, Oregon, David and Melissa Norton dipped the rear wheels of their Trek 520 touring bicycles into the Pacific Ocean. Their sense of adventure, travel, and long-distance cycling would lead them to Bar Harbor, Maine, where they rolled the front wheels of their bikes into the Atlantic. For the 63 days separating these events, the two pedal across the United States -- a feat accomplished by other cyclists, but most doing it before they turn 50. Just the Two of Us documents the Norton's summer adventure of biking "cross-country, first-class." Cycling by day and staying in quaint bed and breakfasts, historic inns and top hotels by night, the Nortons use their time on the road to meet people, to reflect on our nation's history, and to absorb the beauty of the landscape. Follow this active couple as they pedal across America -- an accomplishment far greater than distance alone. Just the Two of Us tells of a journey that brings to the riders a greater sense of self and a deeper appreciation of each other. It also shows what can be achieved through determination, dedication, and love. Book jacket.Norton, Melissa is the author of 'Just the Two Us' with ISBN 9781886284678 and ISBN 1886284679.
