Sobre IBD

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. 3

    'When I ran, I ran for pleasure. I didn’t run for times, to win, to impress: I ran for me.

I maintained that I was not a ’real’ runner - I just liked to run so that I could eat cake.'Anna was never anything like those ’real’ runners on telly - all spindly limbs, tiny sh...

And for that I had no answer." Disillusioned with corporate London life and with no prev...
