Summary
"Just then, a train of thought rumbled into motion and a soft voice asked me a question. It was almost a whisper. ‘What are you doing here?’ it said. ‘You are building a career, Anna,’ came the reply from another more sinister voice. ‘But are you building a life?’ said the soft voice again. And for that I had no answer."
Disillusioned with corporate London life and with no previous experience as a long-distance cyclist, Anna decides to clamber atop a beautiful pink bicycle (named Boudica) and set out on an 11,000-mile journey on her own, through each and every state of the USA. Dodging floods, blizzards and electrical storms, she pedals side by side with mustangs of the Wild West, through towering redwood forests, past the snow-capped peaks of the Rocky Mountains and on to the volcanos of Hawaii.
Along the way, she meets record-breaking grandmas, sings with Al Green at a gospel service, and does her best to avoid becoming a grizzly bear's dinner. 50 Shades of the USA is a down-to-earth, heartfelt, and hilarious account of an adventure through a country well-known, but far less well-understood. It is a stunning tale of self-discovery told through the eyes of a woman who couldn't help but wonder if there was more to life, and more to America, too.

A delightfully entertaining tale of cycling adventure through the US. Anna is a gifted storyteller - AND narrator - and listening to this audiobook is like having an extended one-on-one chat with with the bundle of curly-haired joyfulness that is McNuff. Anna weaves her tale of a. the cycling lark and b. the human interactions together in such an accessible, gentle way, that even a total non-cyclist like myself is nothing but enchanted. Get your cuppa ready and go on a journey of life wisdom and American state discovery!

Great Story
it's a truly inspiring story, and very well written. slightly spoiled by the narration, which was trying too hard on the comedy side, and falling short. Overrall a good book.

A perfect mix of cycling and scenery, Anna's personal interactions with some very kind Americans and her own human joys and struggles.
She's very likable and encouraging.
