Have you already read Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance? If not, I think that'd be a good fit....

Well, I'm not gonna do it all in one day. I ride from Fairbanks to Anchorage over 6 days. I leave on Sat. I start riding on Mon. Assuming I and my bike make it to Alaska....

I'd recommend "The Wind-up Bird Chronicle" by Haruki Murakami.
It's a richly layered "mystery" that turns out to be a meditation on life. It all starts out when a 30ish Japanese laws clerk who has recently left his job sets out in pursuit of his missing cat... He then falls headlong into a series of adventures/misadventures that get increasingly dark and complex. Most engrossing book I've read since "Gravity's Rainbow" by Thomas Pynchon.
