After five years of blue-collar cycling in Belgium (A Dog in a Hat), Joe Parkin returns to the United States looking for a ride. He joins the elite Coors Lite road team, but adjusting to
domestic racing with small crowds, inexperienced teammates, and poorly promoted events, proves difficult. Disillusioned, Joe is ready to quit, but an offer from a pro mountain bike team
changes everything and the freshness of mountain biking inspires him once again. Come & Gone will instantly appeal to all readers of A Dog in a Hat, and entrance new readers with this
rare, frank, and intimate sports memoir.
