Mike is on page 109 of 304 of Mud, Sweat, and Gears: A Rowdy Family Bike Adventure Across Canada on Seven Wheels
its interesting trying to read a book and following the footnotes...in this case, the author is the writer and his wife chimes in with various footnotes....a departure from his first book as that one has different tales of life on the road at various times...this one focuses on his adventures with family in Canada the one summer

Having read the author's original book, Metal Cowboy (and loving the adventures he had on his own), I was interested in reading his other books on his bike trips with his family, in this case, their summer trip through Canada...looking forward to the new adventure!

the book has really caught my interest as I read several pages tonight...as a dog lover and watching the competitions on TV, I never knew how much there was for competition....this is a funny look into it from the eyes of a dog owner (and author too)...
