Community Appreciation · The Haunted Mile
Rider Spotlight: Ariel, recognized for bringing empanadas for the crew at The Haunted Mile

Rider Spotlight: Ariel

Ariel brought empanadas for the crew on The Haunted Mile. It's gestures like that that make Next Mile Moto more than just a group of people riding motorcycles.

A big thank-you to Ariel for looking out for everyone.

Where it started

Before the first public ride, there were four of us.

Next Mile Moto started as a close-knit group riding together — William, Alberto, Donny and Johnny. Long before the official launch, the idea was already taking shape on the road.

The original group

William · Alberto · Donny · Johnny

Laconia

One of the rides that brought the original group together and helped shape what Next Mile Moto would become.

Gettysburg

Another early road day together — building the rhythm, trust and ride style that carried forward.

Tail of the Dragon

A major ride for the group and part of the story before Next Mile Moto officially launched.

Florida

A long-distance run that reinforced the idea: good roads, good people and riding together the right way.

What we're about

A community built around the ride.

Next Mile Moto brings riders together from New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Pennsylvania for scenic weekend rides, mountain roads and longer-distance adventures. Our riding calendar includes trips to major motorcycle gatherings such as Gettysburg Bike Week, Laconia Motorcycle Week and Americade, along with an annual Tail of the Dragon ride. All bikes are welcome. No pressure, no ego — just good people, new friendships and the open road.

Organized rides

Clear meet times, rider briefings, planned stops, and a structure designed to keep the day moving.

Ride your ride

No pressure to ride beyond your comfort level. Respect the road, your machine, and the riders around you.

Nobody left behind

We build the group around communication, riding groups, captains, sweepers, and looking out for each other.
