Pushing Miles book signing event in Rapid City, South Dakota! Friday, April 19, 6-8pm at Side Hustle Moto. They're an awesome little mom-and-pop venue with a great boutique and gorgeous custom builds. I'll be there with books to chat, mingle, sign, munch on h'orderves and generally have a fun evening! The weather is looking great for riding, knock on wood, so cruise on up and enjoy a wonderful weekend of riding in the Black Hills. Feel free to share & I hope to see you there!

To everyone who has been waiting with bated breath and/or pulled a muscle trying to lift the print copy off your front porch:

The Kindle Version of Pushing Miles has gone live!
- It's tankbag friendly!
- It's easy on the eyes!
- You don't need OSHA training to carry it!

Google Play and Apple Books process at their own pace, but they shouldn't be far behind. Thank you again to everyone who is enjoying the whole crazy misadventure - Ian McPhee and I are blown away by the support and excitement!

OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS!!! We're the #1 New Release in Travel Writing!!! We're absolutely blown away! I don't even know what to say (for once. I used up all my words on the book. 😄)

THANK YOU EVERYONE who has bought a book, is thinking about buying the book, or who thinks we smell funny but just stand a couple steps away and smile as you try to breath through your mouth. We seriously hoped we'd sell a few more books than to just our families, and here we hit #1!!! Thank you so much for your support!!
