Ep. 934: Lake Tahoe to Baja by Mountain Bike - Alenka Vrecek

At fifty-four, Alenka was running out of time to follow through on a dream she’d written down just after her first marriage crumbled. Years later, as she slowly rebuilt her life with her second husband, things started spiraling out of control with their health. The only way she knew how to heal and connect all painful parts of her life was by riding her bike, and she didn’t want to have regrets. But was she brave enough to embark on an unknown path and risk losing everything . . . perhaps even her own life?

Determined to awaken her dying spirit and heal her battered body, Alenka loaded her mountain bike with 50 pounds’ worth of camping gear and set off on a 2,500-mile journey. Starting in Lake Tahoe, California, she hoped to ride to the tip of Mexico’s Baja Peninsula, following remote mountain trails, alone.

What followed was an irrevocably transformational journey of love, hope, courage, and resilience—and here, Alenka tells that story in a voice stripped of self-pity and infused with a good dose of humor. Here book, She Rides, is a galvanizing wake-up call for anyone who wants to unearth and follow their own deeply buried dreams—and reclaim their life.
