MIDDLE MILES

At fifty-three years old, Cory Mortensen loaded his bike at the Canadian border and pointed south.

Twenty-seven days later he would reach Mexico after riding more than 1,850 miles along the Pacific Coast.

Along the way he battled headwinds, climbed coastal mountains, crossed iconic bridges, and explored the people, history, and forgotten stories hidden beside Highway 101.

Part travel memoir. Part road journal. Part reflection on aging, purpose, and reinvention.

Middle Miles is a story about movement - through landscapes, through uncertainty, and through the years between youth and old age.
