Description

David is a middle-aged university administrator dealing with the dull routines of long work weeks, diapers, snowblowers and bills. He escapes from the daily grind and takes to the road on a bicycle with the goal of pedaling across the country in twenty-eight days. This physical challenge turns into a pilgrimage of sorts, with the stories of pilgrims he meets along the way informing the lessons learned during the adventure. The stories from the road highlight the path to self-discovery that is central to David's pilgrimage.
