Pushing Miles

A Chronicle of Motorcycles, Mayhem and Mettle

By: Wendy Crockett, Ian McPhee

Narrated by: Wendy Crockett, Ian McPhee, Lisa Erbes

The inspiring true story of a 100,000-mile motorcycle world record attempt where everything that could possibly go wrong, went spectacularly wrong.

In the spring of 2022, renowned long distance motorcycle riders Wendy Crockett and Ian McPhee set out to execute their meticulously planned World Record ride attempt. The premise was simple enough: Visit every Australian state in alphabetical order, documenting each visit by photographing the state’s capitol building. The approach would then be replicated in the United States, visiting a grand total of 58 capitols on an epic road trip adventure spanning two continents and three countries.

Reality hit hard with the revelation that absolutely nothing about this undertaking was destined to go smoothly. Yet even in the face of unfathomable adversity, including breakdowns, illness, animals strikes, historic weather events, and multiple hospitalizations, this tenacious duo refused to abandon their quest.

Fueled by boundless optimism and unrelenting determination, Pushing Miles is a brutally honest and surprisingly humorous look at what it takes to make an uphill ride into endurance motorcycling history.

The never give up attitude both riders had!

The book and audio held my interest throughout. Bring an LDRiders myself and know both of the people I was able to visualize what they were enduring in their adventure.

A real adventure

This has been one of my favorite motorcycle enthusiast books that I’ve come across. The engaging and interesting narration where the two authors flipped back-and-forth with their narratives offering their own perspectives of events was unique and fun. I’ll be listening to this book many times over.
