On Yere Bike By
Joe "Metal Cowboy" Kurmaskie
Celebrated author of Metal
Cowboy: Tales from the Road Less Pedaled lends

morning, only to step into the warmth and fellowship of a local pub. In
this simple, small corner of his ancestral homeland, an unexpected and
wonderful gift awaits a tired, hungry cyclist.
