Ever wonder how the slow burn of travel can ignite a soulful transformation? Join us, Jim and Rita, as we recount the tales of San Miguel del Allende's sizzling May heat, where our quest for coolness led us to uncover the cultural gems of this historic Mexican town. We're spilling the beans on navigating local markets brimming with budget-friendly fresh produce and each surprising twist in the rich narrative the cobblestones of San Miguel whisper to those willing to listen.
This episode takes a turn down the path of personal evolution with our guest, Heidi Beierle, an intrepid spirit who pedaled her way from Wyoming to the diverse tapestry of American culture. Heidi's cross-country cycling odyssey is a beacon for anyone looking to unlock the depths of their courage and meet America's heartland with open arms. As she shares her stirring transformation, we ponder the indelible mark left by the open road and the unexpected kindness of strangers met along the way.
But it's not all pedal and breeze; we get real about the logistics of solo female bike touring. From safety to minimalism, we cover the essentials—like the warm embrace of the warmshowers.org community and the meticulous planning aided by the Adventure Cycling Association. Heidi's journey is a testament to the hospitable spirit of small-town America, revealing how a solo venture can challenge and change you, leaving behind a profound sense of connection and pride in the landscapes and people that become the milestones of your journey.
