Bike Bags
Sloane is 51 when her previously perfect life crumbles. The initial fissure is the assault of menopause, followed closely by her husband of 25 years leaving her, without explanation or preamble. It causes her to doubt her appeal as a woman as well as to reevaluate her entire life and self worth.
She decides to take a bike tour of Austria, Slovenia, and the Chezch Republic to escape her misery, and instead of enlisting close friends and family to join in her adventure, she chooses to contact a random assortment of acquaintances. It is not only because she wants to leave any reminders of her old life behind, but if she should decide to stray beyond her formerly rigid boundaries of propriety, she did not necessarily need the blowback to follow her home. Not that she was planning orgies or drunken bacchanals, but still, she preferred to be free of expectations.
When they converge on Vienna and she takes stock of the quirky misfits that she has assembled, none of whom know one another, she questions not only her selection process but the entire inspiration.
After a rocky start the journey turns out to be full of revelations, friendships, conflicts and hilarity that entertains and alters them all.
It is a comedic romp and an exploration of the follies and challenges of life. If you are offended by profanity this is not a book for you as it is liberally peppered with it.

It’s not just young people who have fun, and the people in this book seemed to be having a very good time indeed. It was fueled a little too much by alcohol, and they were a bit more “ugly American” than is PC, but i liked the premise that they could bike many miles a day and have enough energy to enjoy their surroundings at night. Mostly their inter-action with the locals was minimal, but that is the reality of…

A trip for misfits. Who wouldn’t want to be a part of it? Whether reading about it or actually doing it, with this book you actually walk away with a good sense of how it would be. As an avid reader, I try to figure out which characters I could most identify with and was surprised that I could identify with each of them in some way! Author never disappointed in delivering a good fun read that makes me literally “LOL”! Love the strong leading character who seems to have everything together,…
