Welcome to Meandering Miles
Meandering Miles is about what happens when I ride to find meaning, and immerse myself in the roads and the places enough for them to make a lasting impression.
This site documents my (mostly solo) motorcycle road trips across the backroads, mountain passes, national parks, and quiet towns of North America — not chasing destinations, but paying attention to what lingers after the ride ends.
You'll find the full road trip pages here, with maps, daily ride logs, and the stories behind the miles. There are long-form conversations with fellow riders in Miles Shared, and real-time silent rides in Miles in Silence for when you want to be on the road without leaving your chair.
This is not a fast channel. It is not a gear channel. It is for the kind of rider, or traveler, who believes that moving through the world slowly and attentively is its own reward.
Explore the road trips. Watch the videos. And if something here makes you want to take the long way home — I’m happy.
