Meet The Returning Rider # 1213 Ryan Brady

 



My name is Ryan Brady from Mica, Washington, located near the Washington/Idaho border. I enjoy outdoor activities, riding motorcycles, and tackling hands-on projects, most recently building a shop on our property. My amazing wife and I have five grown children and five grandchildren. For more than 35 years, I have worked in the electrical industry throughout the Pacific Northwest.

 

My interest in long-distance riding began while listening to the Wild Ass Podcast, where Craig interviewed many of the top long-distance riders in the country. Their stories intrigued and inspired me, and a year later, I found myself participating in the Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge.

 

In 2024, Hoka Hey tested my endurance, discipline, mental strength, and riding skills in unforgettable ways. Completing the 2024 Challenge as a finisher and elite rider was an honor, and it strengthened my commitment to ride with purpose on behalf of a cause that is deeply meaningful to me.

 

I am a passionate supporter of Spokane Fantasy Flight, an organization that provides impoverished and at-risk children with a day filled with joy, dignity, and the magic of Christmas at the North Pole. 

 

In partnership with Alaska Airlines, children are welcomed by more than 250 North Pole Elves and Guards who create a celebration filled with hope, wonder, magic, and much-needed essentials. Each child experiences a day where they are seen, valued and cherished in a way many have never experienced before.

I ride each mile to help ensure the magic continues for children who deserve to know what it feels like to be loved, celebrated, and never forgotten.

See you in August,

Ryan Brady
