I want to ride the HHMC because I enjoy traveling the country by
motorcycle and camping. I am looking forward to the HHMC because of the
challenge it will present me. My only expectation is to be challenged and to have a fun time. The only advice I've heard is "Are you crazy?" And my answer is
"probably". But when I think of the challenge ahead, I think of Yoda
and his words of wisdom. "Do or Do not, there is no try". I will do
the HHMC until I do or I do not.
The hardest challenge I will face is being gone from my family for
almost a month. I will miss my four kids and wife while gone. They are
excited to be able to watch where I go using the GPS tracking unit. I
also take pictures of small stuffed animals and
send to my daughters so they can feel like they are with me.
I had done some long distance rides and someone asked me if I had heard
of the HHMC. I said I hadn't. So I went home looked it up and told my
wife I'm doing that next. So I saved my pennies and paid the full
entrance fee and applied as soon as I could.I think I was attracted to the HHMC by the 10k miles and no gps and no
hotel. I'm expecting to see parts of the US that I haven't seen yet and
can't wait. I'm also excited about the possibility of interacting with
the locals and other HHMC riders. I love
going to the local eatery to see/hear what they are thinking/doing.
My non-profit is my Scouts BSA troops 77 and 177. Scouts gave me a
foundation and family when I was growing up. My kids are now getting
the experience of Scouting. The skills, abilities, and opportunities
the kids get being part Scouts is priceless. I
want to make sure that Scouting is there for future generations.
This is my first HHMC! And I don't think I can wait till August.
