Here's what readers have to say about Nick Adams' "Midlife Journey": The best thing written about skiing, surfing, strength, vitality and aging since...well ever. Adams lays bare the heart of the middle-aged man. What a hoot! You can't help but like Nick Adams. On skis, two surfboards, one red motorcycle, a clumsy blue kayak, and a sleek double scull, Adams chases a cast of characters who put a cheery face on aging. For every man over forty and the women who love them.

Old or unsuitable motorbikes, distant places, poor weather and gravel roads, these are the common threads in Nick's motorcycle travels. He'd been hoping to ride out west a couple of years ago until a little heart trouble intervened. Two years later, a short 'shake-down' trip morphed into a 9000 mile journey across the continent. Trouble free? Not exactly. Riding a 1972 Moto Guzzi Eldorado, a Suzuki Burgman Scooter and a 1976 Moto Guzzi Convert (automatic), and ever optimistic, Nick heads for the Canada's distant horizons, encountering friendly, generous people, wildlife, bike troubles and inclement weather along the way.

President Donald Trump is a revolutionary figure in American politics. 2016 was the 1776 of our generation and 2024 was our greatest victory ever! Unfortunately for patriotic Americans such as yourself, virtually all of the books about President Trump are written by his detractors, those paid to slander him, or those who are incapable of understanding his political, financial, and cultural genius. This ends now! Nick Adams has authored the ultimate book on President Trump's past, present, and future. Inside these pages, you will learn what makes President Trump a uniquely great figure in our Great American Story. You will come to understand how President Trump's own words, dating back decades, foretold everything that has happened since. Author Nick Adams has been a Trump loyalist from before day one. He was an admirer of Trump the businessman before campaigning for Trump the president. With neither axe to grind nor favor to seek, Adams presents an honest, in-depth yet accessible analysis based on both firsthand experience alongside President Trump, in addition to the incisive observations he has made over his many years of campaigning for the man he calls the best president of all time. This is the MAGAna Carta; it is a Homeric Odyssey from Mar-a-Lago to Mars. Perhaps most of all, it is the story of a man, his resilience, his tireless work, his innovation, his patriotism, and his profound love for and dedication to the greatest country that there has ever been. This is the definitive book on President Donald John Trump.

Forty years is a long time to be away.

Lastly, follow Nick across the North York Moors at night, then on across the country to the Cumbria coast. As if the snow, rain and endless miles weren't enough while hiking, jump on the back of the motorbike and ride from Scotland to Devon via Norfolk, dodging hypothermia, then through the Lakes, the Pennines and Wales.Nick's idea of a good time seems to involve bad weather, difficult terrain, stealth camping and innumerable pubs. This is one man's view of a country he loves, told in a simple, engaging style.Come along for the ride.

Despite a lifetime of healthy outdoor activity and a diet no worse (or better for that matter) than the next man's, in 2017, at the age of 66, Nick found himself under the knife for triple bypass surgery. Would this be the end to hiking adventures and long motorcycle trips to remote parts? Not a chance Recovery from open heart surgery is a long, slow process, but with plenty of help, some dedication, lots of careful walking, and heaps of good luck, it is possible to return to a fully active life.

And when you are able to return to the activities you enjoy, they will seem more worthwhile and precious than before.
