Meet The New Rider # 1368 Christina Griffith

 



Hello sunshine 🌞, I'm Christina Griffith  (rider #1368) from Hotchkiss, Colorado. My wonderful husband and I have been married for 26 years. We have 3 beautiful daughters. 3.5 (one is still cooking) grandkids. I'm a late arrival to the motorcycle world. I was a passenger princess for many years. In 2016  I started riding my parents trike. I fell in love with three wheels and solo riding. I've experienced the beauty of all the lower 48  states. From the crashing ocean waves, to high mountain peaks, blowing corn of the plains, to the desert cactus.  My adventurous spirit always wants to know what's over the next hill and around the next corner.
I discovered the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge in 2020 through Google search for endurance riding. I instantly knew right away that I wanted to participate in the challenge. At the time they weren't accepting trikes. And I wasn't ready. For the last six years I've been preparing for this ride. I was even trying to think of ways to become a route tester. One way or another I was determined to ride this ride.



"Wheels for Hope" is my fundraising campaign for Breakthrough T1D. It's for Type One Diabetes research. A hope for a future were those we love and cherish won't have to struggle with this disease. Were they don't have to worry about choosing between affording their insulin or paying bills. Not worry about possible loosing limbs or their life to this disease. Hopefully we can come together to help find a cure for those we love.
