“A well-done portrait of life at it’s finest—when things end to make way for new challenges and excitement. When love trumps disappointment. And when we find out just how limitless we really are.”

“Mike’s story is solidly plotted and well paced, and it shows that a change of heart is only the beginning step in understanding who you are. The characters here ring true, especially Mike, whose evolution and growing self-awareness propel the story forward. The writing has an immediacy and works to bring readers inside of Mike’s head. And while there are some melodrama moments, they never overwhelm the narrative,instead, they keep the emotions raw and honest.”

“Hooyenga gives us an expertly-written, well-paced narrative and a fascinating and well-developed cast of teen and adult characters. On its surface, it’s a simple romance that incorporates high school social drama with personal growth through the physical, emotional, and mental challenge of a sport. Mike is a very likable teen who hasn’t yet found her own path or her inner courage. As she gains experience on the bike,she devises ten (plus one) “trail rules,” which also help her face the challenges of life. …this is an extremely positive and engaging story told in a very beautiful way.” –
