Jon Meadows aka Tripod. Rider #967. This will be my 3rd Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. In 2020 I finished the challenge in 6th place. 2022 I had to DNF because of medical reasons. I had such a great time that I just had to reenter in the 2024 Challenge. My riding style has not changed much since my first Hoka Hey. I still push my self and feel 1k mile days are the best. I plan on taking this year's challenge one day at a time. Now that I know what to expect I plan on doing 2024 a little deferent. I have found out what works and what didn't. I have also changed some of my gear to better help me on this challenge.
I am participate in the 2024 Hoka Hey because I loved the adventure I got from the previous challenges! Not knowing where you will end up or what you will see. Trying to figure out places to sleep. Meeting new people that think your crazy when you explain to them what the challenge requires. Pushing my self to my limits and trying to push past them but always trying to remember where my wall is and stopping before I hit it.
The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is a very tough ride! You are doing multiple days where some days you can only get in 700 miles while other days you can grab alot more. I did not wreck during the challenge but I came close to hitting a few dear and ran off the road into a ditch when I dozed off once but the bike never went down. If this challenge is done correctly it will push you to the point where you find out who you are as a person and a rider. I know it did me!
I am definitely looking forward to seeing all my Hoka Hey family.
