A life changing cross country journey where dirt roads rule, fair maidens are won and dragons are tamed. "Jeff Fletcher has written a lyrical tale that includes redemption, bushels of lessons and hard-won wisdom (the wisdom that the less wounded leave by the side of the road), humility, courage, love and friendship, and the joy of getting where you're headed to discover the journey must continue. I look forward to his next adventure.

Follow along on a life-changing, fifty-five-hundred-mile ride on a motorcycle named Marilyn.
Praise for one of the Best New Authors on Amazon
"A very relaxing read. Made the mistake at first to zip through it as I have never been a book reader. Then, I slowed down and read every word. It put me at ease, as the author goes through years of preparing for this great motorcycle adventure. Superb advice for a beginner or an experienced rider who can benefit greatly from Jeff's experience. I learned a lot.
Turn off the TV and enjoy this relaxing read!"

"I enjoyed this book. An easy read, this book will encourage you to seek Adventure. Not the hype but a simple reminder that Adventure is just outside the door. And if you open the door you will never be the same again..."
-Bruce Casey
"If you ride or have ridden trail bikes during your lifetime and have never heard of the Trans America Trail, you need to expose yourself to the trail by reading this book.
After reading Marylin Across America, I'm already debating which trail bike I would want to acquire to ride the Trail.
"The storytelling compels us to continue the read, ready our bikes, and eventually, hit the road to our own adventure. Thanks for the motivation!"

"Love this ride and writing. I sit here wondering, if I ever want to be that old man sitting and talking to a rider about back when I rode. I just don't think I'll go gently."
