When the son was 18 years-old, his father was dying of cancer. “He has about a year left..,” said the doctor. Told to lie about his father’s terminal illness, the deception led to decades of lament and despair.

A Long Ride Coming is a deeply personal memoir filled with poignancy and tinged with wry humor. The book takes the reader on a 1,900 mile bicycle ride from the Golden Gate Bridge to the Mexican border and then from Canada through Washington, Oregon, and California. The journey meets steep, challenging terrain and memorable, once-in-a-lifetime characters.

Testing his stamina and age, the author’s bike ride ends where it began a year earlier—at the Golden Gate Bridge.

Much more than a bicycle trip, the story unveils a tribute to a father who died too young, leaving a son to struggle with nearly 50 years of regret.

Until finally, a long bicycle ride brings lasting homage.
