Cory Mortensen | The Buddha and the Bee: Biking through America’s forgotten roadways on an accidental journey of discovery

In this episode of Bike Tour Adventures, I speak with Cory Mortensen about his 2-month leave of absence in which he cycled from Minnesota to California. In this story of self-discovery, Cory broke away from society's expectations and embarked on an adventure that forever changed his life's trajectory. After 20 years of adventure and travel, Cory has finally written a memoir on his life-changing adventure. Titled, "The Buddha and the Bee: Biking through America's forgotten roadways on an accidental journey of discovery". Today, we will discus Cory's new book, how the adventure changed his life, and what compelled him to make such drastic changes to his life in the aftermath.
