Bananadog book

This is a link to a book I just finished about a bike trip around New Zealand.
It's only 80 pages or so, and it has pictures. I've done my best not to bore you.

Here's what's written on the back cover:

In the beginning months of 2006, I rode a $35 bicycle 3200km around New Zealand. I embarked on this adventure for several reasons: I couldn't find a full-time job in my field of education, I wanted to experience a place I'd never been and I wanted to see if I could actually do it.

The goal was simple: get from Christchurch to Auckland by bicycle. With that goal in mind for 97 days, the obstacles between A and B became less difficult to overcome.

It's easy to make things complicated in life. When I challenged myself to do something very simple, I found that sometimes things are not as complicated as they seem.

Or at least they don't have to be.
