Now that you have ridden a challenge what is your favorite part of the challenge? It's hard to say what was the best part It was great to meet everyone involved with the hoka hey, meet so many diverse backgrounds of people and to be able to see this great nation on two wheels. Facing everything that arose during the ride

What was the most difficult trial you faced on a challenge? Having to keep the bike working  and limping it 8,000 thousand miles home draining the oil out of the primary 3 times a day and hoping not to run out of fuel in the middle of nowhere, And dodging a tornado and hail storms.  

Have You convinced anyone to ride the HHMC? Have not been able to get anyone to step up too the challenge
