Rebecca Rusch is one of the great endurance athletes of our time. Known today as the Queen of Pain for her perseverance as a relentlessly fast runner, paddler, and mountain bike racer, Rusch was a normal kid from Chicago who abandoned a predictable life for one of adventure. In her new book Rusch to Glory: Adventure, Risk & Triumph on the Path Less Traveled, Rusch weaves her fascinating life's story among the exotic locales and extreme conditions that forged an extraordinary athlete from ordinary roots. Rusch has run the gauntlet of endurance sports over her career as a professional athlete-- climbing, adventure racing, whitewater rafting, cross-country skiing, and mountain biking--racking up world championships along the way. But while she might seem like just another superhuman playing out a fistful of aces, her empowering story proves that anyone can rise above self-doubt and find their true potential. First turning heads with her rock climbing and paddling skills, Rusch soon found herself spearheading adventure racing teams like Mark Burnett's Eco-Challenge series. As she fought her way through the jungles of Borneo, raced camels across Morocco, threaded the rugged Tian Shan mountains, and river-boarded the Grand Canyon in the dead of winter, she was forced to stare down her own demons. Through it all, Rusch continually redefined her limits, pushing deep into the pain cave and emerging ready for the next great challenge. At age 38, Rusch faced a tough decision: retire or reinvent herself yet again. Determined to go for broke, she shifted her focus to endurance mountain bike racing and rode straight into the record books at a moment when most athletes walk away. Rusch to Glory is more than an epic story of adventure; it is a testament to the rewards of hard work, determination, and resilience on the long road to personal and professional triumph.

In 1993, Kissing the Trail began serving up just what Seattle mountain bikers crave -- great dirt trails within 85 miles of Seattle. This third edition delivers more of the same good mountain bike grub. Check out new rides at Paradise Valley, on Whidbey Island, and in Tahuya State Forest. Or what about those mysterious woodland tracks off Highway 169? Full of the obsessively detailed local knowledge for which Zilly's guidebooks are well known, the third edition now includes Suntop and the Worm, as well as whirling new singletrack on Grand Ridge, at Tolt-MacDonald Park, and in the Middle Fork valley. The built-over and closed trails have been tossed out, the existing trails have been updated, and meditations on the First Kiss are still packed in the toolkit. Seattle's mountain bike bible is back, with all the irreverence, fun, and expert detail you've come to expect. Whatever your tastes or abilities, Kissing the Trail leads the way to great rides.
