Meet The New Rider Marlin Veldkamp # 881



Kids and motorcycle pretty much fill all the free time Marlin has. Admitting he is still trying to fully grasp what the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is he is pretty sure he wants to find out.  The draw of saying "I've done something like this. I've practiced and prepared and succeeded at something that sounds absolutely crazy." Those that know Fish are not surprised.  Riding with his friend Jason for many miles its more about the mental part in the game is his big hurdle. Researching tents, cots, gear all things needed to keep them is good shape to keep riding.

Although his Dad was not a fan of his love for riding, family support and friends are cheering him on because they know how bad he wants to do the challenge.  "Crazy but not surprising," is how those who know him would describe it. He is willing to do what is needed to get it done, figuring out how to tackle obstacles that are in his way and navigate that with dedication without considering failure, just make it happen.  Social media is how Marlin first read about the HHMC. He didn't think Jason would agree to doing it but was pleasing surprised when he said "Hell yes Let's Do This!"
