She is the author of three novels as well as her recently published book titled “10 Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure,” which is an inspirational account of her tandem ride across the United States, a journey consisting of 3102 miles during the summer of 2020 which helped her heal her heart and her spirit from an emotionally abusive 14 yearlong marriage and also find the courage to publish her first novel.
Teri shares her incredible and inspiring story of how she and her husband, a Marine and a cyclist, made the decision to ride across the continental US on a tandem bicycle in 2020. At the time, Teri was seventy pounds overweight, hadn’t ridden a bike since she was a child, had never even seen a tandem bicycle let alone ride one, and was still reeling from her previous emotionally abusive marriage. As a result, she struggled with herself-image, insecurity, and lack of confidence and self-worth.
She describes the process of planning and preparing for the trip, which included how to ride in tandem with a partner, and learning to trust each other along the way. Teri also describes the many challenges they faced dealing with the pandemic and the closures and the obstacles they had to navigate along the way.
She shares her remarkable story with open honesty and a remarkable sense of humor, along with the many lessons she learned along the way, including the realization that she could accomplish anything she set her mind to, finding her self-worth and value, regained her confidence, and many other valuable insights which led her to create her “10 Rules for a Double-Butted Adventure.”
Most of all, Teri would like all of us to understand that our happiness matters, that we all need to discover what we are capable of by getting out of our comfort zone, how embracing challenging adventures helps us find our value and self-worth, to never quit on a bad day, and so much more!
