Bicycle Journeys With Jerry Jerry Dusterhoff

by Jerry Dusterhoff

Overview

Jerry is an Average Joe. His exercise of choice is bicycling and he describes progressing from cycling in his neighborhood to taking cycling vacations in the scenic areas of the country. Tourist stops like Glacier National Park, the Cascades, Southwest Utah, Oregon, Georgia, and Vermont are all places he has cycled. His most ambitious trip was riding coast-to-coast, and he convinces you that this achievement can be accomplished by just about anyone with the determination to try. Jerry characterizes his book as nuts and bolts because in recounting his adventures, he relates what an average cyclist should know if they want to join in on the fun. He whimsically uses cycling racing terms, such as calling his chapters stages and the Table of Contents My Palmares. The reader is easily caught up in Jerry s vacations and can be inspired to start planning his own.

About the Author

Jerry Dusterhoff has only written one book, but he has written it twelve times. Facing an empty nest and retirement, he needed a hobby for quiet time when not out on his bicycle. Both a mechanical klutz and computer-phobe, he decided to write, and taking the number one writing advice to heart, wrote about what he knows best. He cycles locally with members of the Georgetown Cyclopaths and Austin Flyers and travels about the country being a cycling tourist. He sees no reason to tour the same ride twice, since there are so many spectacular places to see and so little time. Jerry is a lifelong advocate of physical activity, although he played no organized sports in high school and is not particularly athletic. A native of Washington, D.C., he came to the University of Dallas in 1963 and has not lived anywhere other than Texas since. He started long distance running, a direct result of Dr. Kenneth Cooper and his book on Aerobics in the mid 1960 s. He became interested in cycling in 1975, succumbing to the allure of BikeCentennial for 1976, an adventure of cycling across the country. Although never doing the BikeCentennial, he has ridden coast to coast. Jerry and his wife, Marilane, are proud of their three children and six grandchildren and visit as often as possible.
