Man in the Saddle
Translated from the Dutch by Nienke Hartog, Man in het Zadel
ISBN-13 9781890623623, $21.99, 372 Pages, Softcover
Deadhorse to Ushuaia—an epic journey on many long distance riders’ bucket lists. But few would contemplate tackling that ride on a vintage 1975 Moto Guzzi. The author’s choice of motorcycle is as unique as his interactions with the people and history he finds along the way. This is not the typical account of that route across the Americas, but one which is as uncommon as the rider, the Dutch print journalist Paul van Hooff—the Man in the Saddle.
Road Dog Publications will discontinue publishing for our authors, other than the founder, Mike Fitterling, October 1, 2025 due to the loss of our distributor. Our books are no longer available for purchase on this website. After October 1, several of our authors have indicated they have decided to self-publish or find another publisher for their books (as have I; my books will be sold at Amazon). I will leave their book information up here for a period of time, and as I get information on where they can be purchased in the future, I will post a link here on their book listing, so you can find them. Thanks to all our customers who have supported us over the years.

Beyond the Canola Fields,
Tropics to Taiga by Motorcycle
by Michael Fitterling
ISBN-13 9798991470643, $18.99, 206 Pages, Softcover
​
This is the story of a motorcycle adventurer who undertook an ambitious journey within a five-week time limit, riding a Triumph Tiger 800 XCa from Florida to the far north of Canada.
​
Rejecting the crowded path to Alaska, Mike sought a more profound, solitary challenge: reaching Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. This remote destination served as the ultimate “end of the road,” the point where the main Canadian highway terminates. The journey was not just a ride but a testament to authentic experiences, with the goal of finding inspiration in the vast places and carrying those stories forward.
​
The immense scale and diverse geographic zones between the subtropical starting point of Florida and the subarctic taiga of the Northwest Territories are masterfully highlighted.
​
This title has been delayed by the government shutdown. It will be released as soon it ends and the Library of Congress can assign this book a LOC Control Number.

A Year Afloat
by Michael Fitterling
ISBN-13 9798991470629, $20.99, 282 Pages, Softcover
TIn his early-thirties, Mike Fitterling embarks on a transformative, solo sailing journey aboard Aries, a modest 25-foot sloop. What begins as a crash course in Sailing 101 progresses into tales of resilience and personal evolution. From the West Coast of Florida, through the turquoise swells of the Caribbean, and eventually up the winding veins of the Intracoastal Waterway, Mike often faces the elements alone, while navigating life’s deeper currents.
Through boat refurbishments, unpredictable weather, isolated anchorages, and odd jobs, Mike’s courageous story reveals how lessons in sailing shape not only skills, but spirit. Whether you are a seasoned sailor or a landlocked dreamer, join him on a year-long adventure as he discovers sailing—not just as a pastime, but as a lifeline.
