Meet The Rider Chris Hopper # 937

Chris Hopper, rider #937, is from Cypress TX.  When not riding motorcycles, Chris is a full time real estate investor.  Only a few years into the LDR world, this challenge is where it all started in 2018.  Chris found out about the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge while searching for Iron Butt rides when he came across this challenge.  Being the avid rider and competitor he is, he decided why not go for 10K miles instead of just 1K!  That would be a true test of endurance and he wondered if he was up for the challenge.  After placing 8th in 2018, he proved to himself he can ride with the big boys (and girls) and push himself to limits he never dreamed.  It has completely changed him physically, mentally, and emotionally.  The brotherhood that comes with being part of the HHMC is next to none.  This is family.

While enduring hours upon hours of riding, and very little sleep, the HHMC still has many obstacles to overcome, such as reading directions, staying awake and safe, and keeping up with your machine.  All these factors are things to expect and will definitely keep you on your toes.  While this is only Chris's second HHMC, he has convinced other riders to sign up and participate and join the brotherhood.  This year, Chris has teamed up with the Rig Riders MC to raise money for a couple of different charities.  Rig Riders MC is a well known club in the Houston area and well respected for all they do.  Their commitment to giving is what persuaded Chris to join forces and really do some good in the community.  While the HHMC will be a tough ride mentally and physically, Chris will definitely be up for the challenge and is looking forward to the amazing roads and adventures it has in store, along with all the time he gets to spend with his brothers and sisters on the open road.
