Grant's Book Tour Adventures!

[Manuel Acosta]

It was funny because I was just thinking about how his book touring was going and pop there goes a new blug. Looks like he's having a grand old time. His new book is good btw. Things that you get after years of experience from riding a bike all in one book. Lots of interesting things. If your an avid cycling or even a new to cycling this book would be good to read. Chapters are set up in a way where if you don't want to read certain sections you don't have to. Skip em and read them later. Being a fairly new cyclist I'm just finally branching out to different subgroups of cycling. I'm coming to realizations about cycling that were already written in the book. Not only is the book a good reconfirmation on things that I do while biking that I always felt uncomfortable about but it's helping me getting over certain aspects of my riding now that will save me some grief in the long run. Makes me feel better about Just Riding. (<--This was intentional) Also the drawings in the book a swanky. Anyone know the artist?

Manny, I was thinking the same thing. It's really nice to see.

I'm bummed about not making the book signing here in Portland this
weekend. I'm actually getting ready to order the book through RBW this
morning.

Manny - I truly agree with you about the book.  I would go so far as to say it has made an immediate impact on the fun that i have while riding (and i have been a reader of riv readers and blugs for quite some time).  The heavy rider big hill tip alone has been worth the price of admission for me.

Is he coming to Chicago!?

Has anyone seen his tour schedule? Specifically, is he planning to
sign books here in the Washington, D.C. area?
