I have lots of hobbies but really don’t have time for
any of them. One reason I started riding long distance is that I can do
it solo whenever I get an opportunity to do so. It’s hard for me to
schedule time off and when I do it’s usually spent
with my young kids. My wife and I have six kids, two of them still
elementary school age and she home schools them. Back when I did have
free time and whenever I can I try to go to the gun range. I used to do a
lot of kayaking and I like to camp. I went to elementary school with John Levins and have known Eric Buskel for several years.
When asked why he wants to ride the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge his answer, "I want to prove to myself I can do it. I want to go
places I’ve never been and I look forward to the idea that I don’t even
know where I’m going. Going places and really doing anything without a
plan in mind is something I seldom do. I just look forward to attempting something so far from anything I’ve ever done before. I hope to just make it to the end.
Many people I met at the meetup in Tennessee gave great
advice. I think the most important advice is to go ahead and eliminate
half of the stuff you’re planning on bringing and then scale it down
some more from there. I will need to overcome several obstacles to ride the
Hoka Hey in 2020. One is convincing my six year old son and eight year
old daughter that they can’t come and have to accept that I’ll be gone
longer than I have been away from them before
and another is to make sure that my business is prepared to do without
me for a couple weeks or more.
I am supporting the Tyler Robinson Foundation because
they’ve helped so many people, including a close friends family who lost
their son, with the costs associated with having a child with pediatric
cancer.
