TWO WHEELS NORTH: 1979
by Miles J Dean
In 1979, at 30, Miles J. Dean rode a motorcycle from New Jersey toward Alaska with three months of riding experience and no idea what the road had planned for him. A war rerouted him north. What followed was one of the most extraordinary summers of his life. He never reached Alaska. But what happened on the way — the people, the roads, the terror, the grace — he has carried for 46 years. Until now. Thirteen episodes. All from memory. This is Two Wheels North.

EP 01 — Plan A: Costa Rica
A war changed everything before the journey even began. Miles Dean had one plan — ride south to Costa Rica to visit a friend he played chess with in silence and ate Spanish food with at his table, a man he couldn't speak a single word to and yet counted among his closest friends. When the Contra-Sandinista war closed that road, he looked at a map, pointed north, and decided on Alaska instead — instantly, without hesitation, with three months of riding experience and whatever he could fit in his bags.
