Middle Miles: Cycling from Canada to Mexico Along the Pacific Coast Highway

Middle Miles by Cory Mortensen. In his fifties he rode the Pacific Coast Highway from the Canadian border down to Mexico, not to prove anything and not to set a record, but to hear what the road had to say. Fog on the Washington cliffs, sun on the California stretches, beach towns most people drive past, roadside cafes and weathered motels, and the scraps of local history that only surface at cycling speed. A quieter book than the earlier three, and a reflection on what the middle of a life looks like from the saddle. His most recent release.
