GOING SOMEWHERE

Funny, reflective, and honest, GOING SOMEWHERE is an adventurous exploration of Benson’s quest for contentment and a testament of the powers of the open road.

Brian Benson has a million life-plans but no sense of direction. So when he meets and falls for Rachel, he's ready to go wherever she'll take him. In a whirlwind of new love, they embark on a bicycle trip from northern Wisconsin to western Oregon. As the pair progress through stunning landscapes, they contend with merciless winds, vivid characters, broken bikes and bodies—and the looming question of what comes next.

Going Somewhere invites bike enthusiasts, twenty-somethings, and armchair travelers alike to join Brian as he learns, mile by mile, how to move forward.

Brian Benson has worked as a Spanish teacher, a landscaper, a magazine editor, a jazz musician and a volunteer coordinator at a bicycle-based nonprofit, and has traveled extensively through the Americas by foot, bus, bike and beyond.
