Dave fell in love with motorcycle riding at a very young age. He had a two year stretch he didn't have a bike and he felt like he had lost a part of himself. If he had the time he would love to just load up a tent and a few clothes and just take off. And although being separated from your family isn't always easy Dave takes advantage of that by riding to fill the void. He heard about the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge while participating in ride around Texas rally when he ran into Eric who had shared with him the fact that he had lost an eye in a wreck and was back at it in spite of his injury. Eric shared with him how no matter where he rides he has a family he can reach out to and spend time with.
In preparation for the challenge Dave feel pretty confident he has the riding down. Training his mind and body to build a good core as been something he has been doing during the winter months in Colorado where riding isn't always possible. Being a concerned spouse Dave's wife is his biggest obstacle but weather preparation are concerns as well. He is also juggling the summer schedule to make sure he doesn't miss visits the family will be making. The HHMC will be the longest ride Dave has ever done so his goal is to finish.
Dave will be riding for the Wounded Warrior Project. He like the mental approach they take with Veterans.
