Drink local, read local!
Charlottesville-based
author Chris Register will be visiting Horton Vineyards on Saturday, March 21.
Come enjoy our beautiful views and award-winning wines while chatting with
Chris about his epic bicycle journey into America. You can also pick up a
personalized, signed copy of his recently-released book, Conversations With US
- American Southwest.
From publisher
Spoke & Word Books:
Concerned about the
increasing sense of division in America, Chris Register ditched a career in law
and set forth on a pedal-powered odyssey across the United States, seeking to
rediscover the shared values and experiences that make us a nation. Conducting
one interview per day over a cumulative year, he heard from ranchers, bankers,
drug addicts, musicians, autoworkers, and other everyday Americans who could
spare a few minutes for a chat. His hundreds of conversations and 16,000 miles
of solo cross-country cycling are now being compiled into the Conversations
With US book series. Chris will be on hand to discuss everything from the
technical aspects of a long-distance bike tour to the lessons he learned and
ways his perspectives changed while exploring this vast, diverse country. His
Surly Long Haul Trucker touring bicycle will be present, too!
