Winter blues (planning everything I still need to do for the trip!) have just disappeared !

Maps all over the floor this weekend, calculating the crazy distances of all the places along the route and still needing to budget for essentials like getting a new phone (mine went down the loo!) to take pictures and blog along the way and of course while I'm at it why not the new GoPro Hero 2 to film the trip .... keep on dreaming !

Steve McQueen, the true King of Cool and James Dean, Rebel without a Cause ...
Iconic heros of mine on their Triumphs ... Winter blues have just disappeared ! :)

And yes, why the link? Well love the music, the cool dudes and I also took part in the 50th Triumph Bonneville Anniversary spectacle up at the Heritage Motor Museum in Warwickshire with friends - lots of fun ...

*****"A thrill ride on two wheels. Educational and inspirational as Ms. Cano takes the reader on an up-close-and-personal tour of Americana" - Bob Tremblay, MetroWest Daily News Boston

*****"Simply Amazing! The writer does such a good job of relaying her experience about her travels alone throught the US. It really makes me want to do it too. I recommend the book to all! Trip too..." Bigga, Memphis, TN

***** "Motorcycle Adventure + Travelogue + Personal Discovery = Winning Combination

Anyone who has ever swung a leg over a motorcycle - or even just imagined doing so - has, somewhere in the back of their mind, dreamed about firing up that bike and roaring off into the sunset for parts unknown. Zoë Cano was one of those dreamers, but unlike the rest of us, she really did it. And not only did she do it, she had the good sense to write about it, so the rest of us dreamers could experience it all with her. Luckily, she is as skilled at describing her trip as she was at completing it ... Reading her book has inspired me, ... not because it describes an always idyllic experience, but rather because it doesn't. Some of "Bonneville Go or Bust" shares Zoë's fears & failures ... and her honesty is both refreshing & compelling. That Zoë faced these kinds of challenges & overcame them is far more inspiring to me than the typical macho tale of canyon carving or triple-digit speed runs. It is perhaps most focused, though, on what she learned about America & about herself, & she shares her discoveries in a way I found entertaining & extremely readable" Bob DiLeonardi, Chicago

*****"Superb read from cover to cover. Very hard to put down. This is a book which will appeal to biker and non-biker" Paul Slatter, UK

*****“This book is a gem of adventure! I’m loving this book, I feel like I’m on the ride and can relate to it all… A must read, I cannot put the book down and will read it multiple times" missrider.com

*****"Loved the book. Going to suggest that daughter 2 reads on the plane on her mini adventure, to show her you can make it happen if you want it enough & are prepared to put in the graft. And you don't need to have tons of cash & tons of freebies.

You can do it!

Your book was light & fresh, easy to pick up but very difficult to put down. You had to find out what was round the next corner or on the next page; an inspiration to world weary old duffers & bright young things to get out and see the world"

*****"The writer captures the essence of what America has to offer while riding a motorcycle on roads less travelled. She also provides excellent descriptions of the towns she visits with the beautiful people she meets along the way. The best part is that the motorcycle riding experience is shared with deep insights into how it really is on the road, riding alone with no support and only her best friend, her motorcycle.” @mvelazquez57

*****"I have a plan I hope will come true in 2 years to buy a Catamaran Lagoon 45footer and sail round the seas. My first stop will be in London - Inspired by you - I intend to write a book about this trip' Bob, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

*****"loving your book. Great read. Just started it but like the fact we all have the same concerns & worries when travelling ... bought the book just for the title!" @slatt62

*****"let me be the first to congratulate you" Ronni, WI USA

*****"A great read looking at some of the USA's less taken routes with great tips and a fresh new persepctive for independent travellers to read. Full of excitement & inspiration. Loved it." Julia, Wimbledon, UK
*****"I am doing my own travelling adventure across America soon & this is a great read, as well as very inspirational" Eliza, London, UK
