Review & Description
Part travelogue and part memoir, In Search of #6 is the story of the trials and trails of a man, a best friend, two bicycles, three states, four dispersed campsites, five tires, seven post-prandial naps, twenty-one dozen eggs, 1,100 miles, 15,000 vertical feet, and the search for a single kiss.
It is a tale of love, friendship, lactic acid, Achilles Tendons, mistaken identities, false promises, broken dreams, large mountains, pungent flatulence, Heterosexual Life Partnership, childhood reminiscence, Umberto Eco, overused comic ploys, and considerable merriment.
You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll wish there was more, and you’ll certainly think twice about eating more than six eggs a day.

“... I guess I liked it or maybe I just had nothing better to do this weekend ...”
“... every time you talk about biking uphill it just knocks the breath out of me and all of a sudden I’m struggling in sympathy. But other than that it’s been great entertainment...”
“... Another perfectly lovely chapter. In fact I’d say that chapter 3 is the perfect successor to chapter 4. I hope chapter 5 comes next ...”
“...I’ve just read the first chapter of your opus … it was enjoyable and very well written, but I would have preferred less details about bicycles and more salacious information and graphic sexual prose ... I would have enjoyed this, because I could then have imagined your handsome, naked torso and would now be leaving work with a skip in my step and a whistle at my lips...” Read more
