No Limits: Discovering Infinite Possibilities on a two-week ride across America Kindle Edition

Nearly everyone has dreams they feel are unachievable. Peter Church had those dreams for many years. However, it was not until later in life that he learned that all the fears and "what ifs" that prevented him from achieving those dreams could vanish if he took the first step.So, he made a change that would send him on a path he had never considered possible. He bought a motorcycle, something he enjoyed as a child, and now, as an adult, would once again. That little change brought him to co-found and lead a motorcycle riding club, leading hundreds of group rides. In twenty years, he had more than 250,000 miles of riding under his tires throughout forty-three states and two Canadian provinces, countless national forests, National Parks, and some of the best roads in North America.Along the way, he learned of the most beautiful places in America that are all reachable in an enjoyable ride. He also learned through reading and experiences of talking with others that planning these rides was not only easy but enjoyable. He came to believe there were no limits to the places he could travel and that the world was much smaller than he had ever imagined.Over the years, Peter heard the same story repeatedly while riding with hundreds of others. That story was, if only I had the time, or what if it rains, or yeah, I want to do that someday, or I don't like the highway. Then, little by little, as they saw Peter ride to incredible places, those fears would wash away from those riders, and they would ride further and longer and join him on his next long ride.For Peter, it was the enjoyment of the ride and the joy he sees in the faces of others, along with the laughter throughout the ride or trip, that brought him out again with a new ride plan, to a new place.Peter's Ride Across America was to ride through some of the most scenic roads, a dozen national parks, national forests, bayous, forests, mountain ranges, and deserts, and experience America while vulnerable on his motorcycle on his meager two-week American vacation. The exhilaration of the ride, the people he met along the way, the different food, and the incredible experiences with wild animals made him realize he should share this experience with others so they, too, could see how easy it is to live their best life.Most of this book is a travel memoir, so the reader feels they are a part of the ride.
