Meet The Rider Jason Miller # 878


Jason is returning for his second Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge , the first being in 2018.  After completing the first challenge and knowing now more of what to expect and exactly what it takes, he is looking forward to getting back out on the road.  Jason is also looking forward to experiencing this challenge solo in 2020.  Finishing the 2018 challenge in the top ten was more than he could have hoped for and is looking to improve on that this time around.  He considers it an honor to finish among the elite riders in the challenge.  Jason’s favorite part of being in the Hoka Hey Family is just that, all the friends that he has made as being part of the challenge and they have become just like family.
Jason’s favorite part of riding the challenge is the few hours every day at sunrise and sunset, and the incredible roads that you travel that you would never visit on your own.  The most difficult part of the ride for him in 2018, was dealing with the lack of sleep and judging when to stop and rest.  
A word of advice about riding the challenge:  Drink lots of water, sleep when you are tired, be fat adapted and do not carb load. Take time to look around and take some pictures, you will regret it if you don’t.
 


Jason will be riding to raise money for “The Charlie Foundation. ” This organization helps children of all ages fight seizure disorders with Ketogenic diets. Avoiding invasive, debilitating brain surgeries through diet, by getting kids connected with Doctors, treatments and other resources.  The Charlie Foundation is helping children through and improving cancer, autism, ALS, Parkinson’s disease, type-2 diabetes, and traumatic brain injuries.  Check out the Charlie Foundation website. Jason is passionate about the Ketogenic diets and living without sugar and grains.
The fundraiser will start on May 1st, 2020 through Jason’s Facebook page.

Jason is also a husband of wife Sarah and dad to Hudson 14, and Elspeth 11. He enjoys watching his Son play sports and bass guitar and his daughter dance and play the guitar. He is also passionate about Oklahoma University sports, and making videos for his YouTube channel JMillRider.  He is also a member of the Scottish Rite in Guthrie Oklahoma.

Please follow Jason and his progress during the challenge, and donate to The Charlie Foundation. Also say a prayer or two for ALL the Riders of the 2020 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge, and an extra one for Rider #878.
