Before the Road Ends

Reflective Cross-Country Cycling Drama

He built a good life. A strong marriage. Three children. A successful career. A future most people would be grateful for. But long before the exits, the responsibilities, and the years that filled faster than expected, Jack Turner made himself a quiet promise: one day, he would ride across America. Now, with the office in good hands and life finally steady, he sets out from St. Augustine with a loaded touring bike, a route to the Pacific, and the weight of everyone he has ever taken care of still resting somewhere inside him. This is not an escape. It is a reckoning. A solo ride across heat, storms, distance, doubt, and the long interior miles between the man he has been and the one he still hopes to become. Because some dreams do not disappear. They wait. And some journeys have to begin before the road ends.
