This is a novella about two journeys - one taken in September of 2014, when I was brand new to motorcycling, and another trip in August of 2015. Together, these trips comprise over 10,000 miles of mostly off-asphalt and entirely off-highway riding.

The first trip is mainly centered around the Trans-America Trail (or TAT as it is known to adventure motorcycling die-hards), a project by Sam Correro to map a coast-to-coast route in the United States of entirely dirt and gravel roads. I rode east-to-west, completing the entirety of the TAT.

The second trip, undertaken a year later, was the "reverse leg" of that trip from the year before - I rode west to east, up the Cascades and across the Rockies, through the Great Plains and finishing in Minnesota.

When taken as a whole, these journeys represent a long look at the backroads, the "off-piste", the lesser-seen sides of America. I hope that this novella inspires you to take your own similar journey - and I hope you discover, as I did, that adventure, exotic locales and incredible scenery is available not just around the world, but in our own backyards.
