About the book:

1,845 miles. 41 days. 12 cyclists. 1 brain tumor named Bubba.

After a shocking diagnosis for a rare pituitary disease, and with her eighteen-year marriage in shambles, Risa's life has fallen far from picture-perfect. Recovering from brain surgery and desperate to get back to her former self, she signs up for the bike tour of a lifetime-six weeks from Canada to Mexico on the Pacific Coast Highway.

The old Risa could have done the ride in her sleep, but for the new Risa, trapped in a body that no longer feels like her own and stuck in the company of her brain tumor, Bubba, the ride becomes a challenge unlike anything she's ever faced.

As Risa pedals through rain, pain, and the ghosts of her memories, she wonders if the woman she once was will ever return or whether the new woman rising up in her place might just be the person she was meant to be all along.

A remarkable story of transformation and resilience, The Road Unpaved speaks to shifting gears to navigate life's roadblocks and live a life without limits, a life fully unleashed.

About Risa August:

Based in Colorado, Risa August is a Conscious Girlfriend coach, a Gestalt practitioner and a patient advocate for rare pituitary diseases. She has been living with a pituitary tumor and rare disease for over a decade, and has learned and practiced removing limiting beliefs, shifting her perspective, and embracing a full life.

A girl with sparkles in her hair who was once an Ironman athlete, Risa still has a passion for her bike and barbells. With her genuine curiosity and love for trying new (and old) things, you may find Risa taking salsa or hip-hop dance lessons, trying a silks aerialist or boxing class, going indoor skydiving, or guiding an inspirational workshop in creativity.
