EP-234 THE ROAD UNPAVED: Risa August’s Journey Across North America
What happens when life throws you its hardest challenges — and you decide to face them on a bicycle?
In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, Richard talks with Risa August, author of The Road Unpaved: Border to Border with a Brain Tumor and a Bike. Her memoir chronicles her ride from Canada to Mexico while navigating a rare pituitary disease and the collapse of her marriage.
Risa shares how cycling became a vehicle for resilience, healing, and rediscovery. From the fatigue of post-surgery recovery to relentless rainstorms, from group dynamics on the road to finding unexpected strength in vulnerability, her story is a powerful reminder that adventure is not just about distance — it’s about courage.
