My name is Ida (Ketsy) Martinez, born October
9th,1956, born in Albuquerque NM. I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Married 43 years, 3 children, 8 grandchildren. 2 dogs and a cat. 
I started riding bikes when I was around 9/10years old. Got my first bike at 15. Used to ride in Mountains of Colorado.
I
joined the New Mexico National Guards at 19 in 1976. Was an ammunition
specialist. Got tired of weekend warrior and went full Air Force in
1978. Spent 18 months in Okinawa Japan. Then state side at Langley AFB
VA. Was a Air Passenger Specialist..
I started off riding mini
bikes, to dirt bikes, to street bikes.. In 2006 got a Honda 750 trike
and starting my riding all the time. In 2010 got Ultra Tri glide trike. I
have done most of my riding in Virginia, North Carolina, Maryland and
Washington DC. Activities are NASCAR, camping, watching grand kids race
at local track, basketball,volleyball, soccer, baseball and football, Go
Broncos
I would like to do the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge myself..
For the adventure to do something I know I can do. The accomplishment of
riding to my soul. I believe in fate and this is my fate. Have
something to tell my grandchildren. I know there’s most likely a few
that ride more than me but I enjoy riding, always have. I also wanted to
do this to share something special with my brother rider #1062 as a
brother/sister team. We know our older brother Jody will be our angel
riding with us.
My non profit fundraiser is the ADA, American
Diabetes Association. Diabetes runs in the family. I have friends who
have passed because of it.
I have been doing fundraisers for
the last 20+ years for diabetes. Anywhere from Poker Runs to scavenger
hunts to Tour De cure to walks.
All the funds will go to research to finding a cure for diabetes.
