Marcus
Radloff here, otherwise known as JUG. I grew up in Central Wisconsin
and fell in love with motorcycle culture during our family's summer
trips to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally.
After
9/11, I enlisted in the Army Reserves serving in Iraq, Afghanistan, and
later mobilized during Operation Allies Welcome. After 21 years of
service, I hung up the uniform in 2023. Following my
second deployment, I bought my first touring bike and have been
exploring the country on two wheels ever since. Today, I continue to
serve the Department of the Army as a civilian and reside Wisconsin’s
driftless region.
I
first discovered the
Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge in 2020 and was
instantly hooked. I spent that summer tracking riders online and told
myself, "One day, I'll do that”. After navigating major life changes, I
knew 2026 was the year to finally take on this challenge.
For
my 2026 ride, I'm fundraising for Mile Monsters Inc., a charity I've
been involved with over the years. Our mission is simple: to help kids
live their best lives. We take on epic motorcycle challenges to raise
money and awareness for boys battling Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy
(DMD). DMD is a rare and fatal disease that destroys muscle and robs
these young boys of their independence. But the boys we ride for never
quit. They fight an unrelenting battle every single day. As long as they
fight, we will fight with them and be their Monsters. These boys aren't
just names on our jerseys—they are our family.
