Disillusioned with corporate London life and with no previous experience as a long-distance cyclist, Anna decides to clamber atop a beautiful pink bicycle (named Boudica) and set out on an 11,000-mile journey on her own, through each and every state of the USA. Dodging floods, blizzards and electrical storms, she pedals side by side with mustangs of the Wild West, through towering redwood forests, past the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains and on to the volcanos of Hawaii.
Along the way, she meets record-breaking grandmas, sings with Al Green at a gospel service and does her best to avoid becoming a grizzly bear's dinner.
The United States of Adventure is a down-to-earth, heartfelt and hilarious account of an adventure through a country well-known, but far less well-understood. It is a stunning tale of self-discovery told through the eyes of a woman who couldn’t help but wonder if there was more to life, and more to America too.

Before making it halfway through the book, I found myself planning my own long-distance bike adventure. Inspiring on so many levels and an ideal read when you feel stuck in a rut and need a boost of courage and motivation to change your situation. I've loved every book of Anna's so far. Every time I listen, I feel more like she's an old friend having a yarn over a cuppa and hobnobs. If you're not hooked by Anna's wit or Boudicca's charm, I'll buy you a pack of jaffa-cakes.
