I hope this is OK if I promote my new book in the bikepacking.net classifieds. This is, after all, probably the largest single gathering of my target audience. I recently published my adventure memoir about my experiences in the 2009 Tour Divide. It's called "Be Brave, Be Strong: A Journey Across the Great Divide." This is an in-depth, candid narrative about heartbreak, determination and the daily challenges that teach us all the ways our own limits are so much greater than we believe. This is more of a personal adventure story than a typical race report or documentary about the Tour Divide, but I think you'll find it to be a compelling addition to your bikepacking library.

Signed copies of the book are available at http://www.arcticglasspress.net/agp/?wpsc-product=be-brave-be-strong

You can purchase the paperback through Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Be-Brave-Strong-Journey-Across/dp/1463533136

Or purchase a digital version of the eBook here http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/57913

Bought myself a copy on lulu.com.  I'm a hundred pages into it right now and am really enjoying it.  Excellent reading!  Thank you.

Just halfway through reading Ghost Trails at the moment, it's a great read.

Thanks guys. I should note that this book is also available on Lulu. So if you're buying a copy of the Cordillera, you can add this one to save on shipping and double your Divide reading material. http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/be-brave-be-strong-a-journey-across-the-great-divide/15975842

However, I need to clarify that my Lulu book sales are not currently affiliated with the Cordillera fundraising effort.

Bought this on Kindle a couple of weeks ago for a trip and it was hard to put down. Great writing and a must read for TD fans!
