About
the Author
After careers in the computer industry and teaching high school math, Tod Rodger switched in his mid-50s to full time riding and writing. He has ridden over 125,000 miles and led a dozen 1,000–2,000 mile tours for both high school students and adults. As a very experienced bicycle tourer—both camping and staying in B&Bs and motels—he understands what information bicycle tourers want and need.
The author also ". . . exultingly stood with a foot on each side of this little rivulet and thanked his god that he had lived to bestride the mighty and heretofore deemed endless Missouri. After refreshing ourselves we proceeded on to the top of the dividing ridge from which I discovered immence ranges of high mountains still to the West of us with their tops partially covered with snow."
