Cyclist and Storyteller Jim Travisano Releases The Long and Winding Road — A Vivid Memoir of a Cross-European Adventure

Charlottesville, VA – July 1, 2025 — Author, editor, and photographer Jim Travisano invites readers on an unforgettable journey in his new memoir, The Long and Winding Road, a heartfelt and often hilarious chronicle of his 1984 cycling expedition across Europe.

Jim’s journey led him from the sunny island of Greece to the misty green hills of Ireland. But while the scenery offers breathtaking beauty, it’s the cast of characters along the way laugh-out-loud scallywags and deeply moving everyday heroes that bring the story to life.

With warmth, wit, and a keen eye for detail, Jim paints a portrait not only of place, but of human connection, adventure, and discovery. The Long and Winding Road is more than a travel memoir it’s an invitation to embrace the unknown and pedal into possibility.

Jim Travisano has spent four decades in the world of publishing as a writer, editor, and photographer. He lives in Charlottesville, Virginia, with his wife Lilia and their cat Brindle.

The Long and Winding Road is now available [insert availability: e.g., online, in bookstores, Amazon, etc.].
