Publisher's Summary
"Just then, a train of thought rumbled into motion and a soft voice asked me a question. It was almost a whisper. ‘What are you doing here?’ it said. ‘You are building a career, Anna,’ came the reply from another more sinister voice. ‘But are you building a life?’ said the soft voice again. And for that I had no answer."
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. 50 Shades of the USA 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.

A lovely meandering tale
This was a lovely meandering tale about the author’s epic journey across the USA. It was a very brave ride, and this comes through in the book with any boastfulness. TBH there are no great highlights, but instead you feel the daily ebbs and flow of this mammoth trip unfolding as you listen. Extra marks to the author for narrating her own story. Well done.

Inspiring listen
Its not just the physical extremes Anna pushes herself to that is inspiring, its her beautiful way of looking at the world and her chipper can-do attitude that is so fantastic.
