Barbara Savage Memorial Award Winners
The Barbara Savage Memorial Award commemorates the late Barbara Savage, author of the bestselling book Miles from Nowhere: A Round-the-World Bicycle Adventure, originally published in 1983 and reissued in 2020. Tragically, Barbara was killed in a cycling accident shortly before the book’s publication. The author’s husband, Larry Savage, created an award fund in cooperation with Mountaineers Books by donating the royalties from sales of Barbara’s book, to encourage personal adventure and writing in the same spirit as Miles from Nowhere.
