A Solo Motorcycle Trip Across the USA
EDITORIAL SUMMARY
A solo ride across the United States reaches New Mexico in this thirteenth episode of a fourteen-part journey. Over two days, the film moves from White Sands National Park to the Gila Cliff Dwellings before the rider leaves the state.
About this film
As the Magpie Flies documents the trip on a 2016 Honda CB500X, with this instalment forming part of the series The Flight South: Solo Female Motorcycle Travel Across the US. The chapter headings place the film on days 28 and 29, filmed on April 1 and 2, 2022. Alongside the travel between stops, the rider shares her enthusiasm for being in the mountains and singles out one campsite as her favourite of the entire trip. The result is a leg of a longer motorcycle journey shaped around riding, overnight camping and visits to places along the way.
The journey
The first day includes a stop at White Sands National Park and time in the mountains, followed by a campsite the rider describes as her favourite of the trip. The next morning begins day 29, with the Gila Cliff Dwellings among the episode’s featured destinations. The film then follows the journey onward as the rider leaves New Mexico. These stops place the episode within the southbound progress of the wider solo crossing, rather than presenting it as a standalone destination guide.
What to expect
- A solo motorcycle journey on a Honda CB500X
