Since I’ve averaged over 81,000 miles a year over the last 5 years I
guess it’s easy enough to figure riding IS what I do for fun.
Riding the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is one of the best Long Distance Challenge’s
available to check ones mettle and learn about ones own self identity.
Coming back to see family is a plus plus as well.
Arriving alive at the finish is one of my biggest goals for this
event, with 2 events and 2 totaled ponies I plan to up my focus and
overall total awareness.
I’ve not received a lot of advice on how I should ride the HH, but
I’ve given plenty and one such piece is to stay within yourself and
don’t get caught up in chasing the storm..
Being my third HH I’ve had to overcome many things that have
altered my path during this journey with my ego being one of them.
I was at an Iron Butt Association event in ‘16 where I met Eric,
John and Gabe- They sucked me right in with their stories of the
Challenge.
Considering all the IBA Challenges I’ve ridden it was like a
no-brainer or even a natural order of events for me in the LD World.
As part of this years event I started a campaign to raise funds
for Fisher House- Help omg families heal- A charity that provides
housing for our Veteran’s families close to their loved one while they
recover and rehabilitate.

What
Fisher House Means “I believe that every step Anson has taken was
because Minie was there to encourage and love him. Without a Fisher
House, that never would have happened."

This will be my third Hoka Hey (‘16-‘18) and I hope it’s
just as enlightening as the as the previous two. I’m ready to be back
among that part of my family that makes me feel at home. I love our
community and the time spent with fellow HH riders
is beyond compare. I also intend to put safety at a higher premium
during this event. Arriving alive is not just a slogan with this
incredibly dangerous undertaking!!!
