Sommaire:
For a society and a generation disillusioned by a church that often seems boring, irrelevant and self-serving, Peterś candid and moving story told from the perspective of the tourś only tandem team restores the hope that the Christian life can be an extreme adventure. Divide the country into three stages: Pacific, Central and Atlantic. Add in 156 ordinary cyclists, ages 18-74, ninety-four of them crazy enough to cycle more than 7,000 kilometres. Multiply by 72 days of community dynamics and constantly varying terrain and weather. Mix in a wrist broken in training that caused the author and his wife to exchange their road bikes for the tourś only tandem bicycle. And you have 2005ś' Sea to Sea with the CRC', the largest vehicle supported bicycle tour that has ever crossed Canada, vividly described in this book by Peter Slofstra, one of the tourś organizers, chaplains and cyclists. Cyclists and non-cyclists alike will be entertained, challenged and deeply affected by this adventure narrative that manages to inform and inspire without ever becoming only a travelogue, training manual or religious treatise.
