Michael # 67 of Gilbert, AZ. has ridden 2010, 11, 12, 13 and
completed three of the four ridden. When he heard about the first HHMC from
friend and fellow rider Mark Hopkins # 59 the thought of doing something like
this, something that had never been attempted like this, with liked minded
people was epic for Michael. “Life
changing” is how he describes his experience now. From mountain top highs to valley
lows, scary but that was awesome kind of moments too with just miles and miles
of you and the road. Talking to random strangers in towns you can’t even find
on a map. Rural America and then some.
Finding shelter under an awning of a gas station that is
closed for the night was one way he was able to get some sleep on a rainy night
during one of his many adventures. The most difficult part the first year was
the directions, but like the other 400 + riders that year we all had the same
challenge. Dropping his bike and wrestling with it for 15 minutes before
remembering he knew how to do it but was so worried he was going to be eaten by
a bear couldn’t get himself together. The whole reason for the stop to begin
with was to put on some warming gear but after doing the smack down with the
bike wasn’t cold anymore. “Don’t be over confident but have confidence you can
do it.”
