Meet The Returning Rider # 1174 Scott and Rebecca Smith

I am Scott Smith returning rider #1174 , this time, Rebecca Smith my wife of 13 years will be joining me riding 2 up. We've ridin thousands and thousands of miles together. She flew to the finish line in homer in 2024 and rode the 4300 or so miles back home to pa, she has also ridin a few  IBA rides 2 up as well.

 

 

      Rebecca works at the Masonic Homes where she's been for almost 30 years. She has the thankless very physical and sometimes heartbreaking job of taking care of our senior citizens. She works with alzheimers and dementia patients... In her spare time she likes walking in nature and being outside in general , sometimes she just wonders off on a trail to who knows where and it takes awhile to find her. Haha..

 

 

    I work at the United States post office as a mail carrier for the last 19 years.  Ive also been a rider coach for the motorcycle safety  academy  for the last 2 years.  I absolutely  love teaching new riders how to ride and seeing the joy they have has they progress through classes.

 

 

       2024 was my 1st Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge. I was overprepared and overpacked. I allowed myself to be the victim of theft by turning my back on my cell phone for a second, I fell on my face  coming out of a gas station and busted my knuckles up. Which bled for days and days.   I bent a rim outside of Tok Alaska after tempting the hoka hey gods by saying "nothin will stop me now" BAM POTHOLE, rode just under 30 miles on a flat front tire to meet the tow truck. Used a torch and a rubber mallet to beat it back in place and after ride 900 more miles to finish.. It may seem like the world is against you out there sometimes but fight through it keep goin. Never quit. NEVER . The  best advice I can give is sleep when you need to sleep no matter the time of day. Hydrate  and get your nutrition right.
      Our charity will be the same THE CHILDRENS MIRACLE  NETWORK Chidrens hospital in hershey pa. This hospital  saved my sons life at 12  years old after he was in a near fatal motocross race accident. He had surgeries  numbering in the teens to save his life and his left leg which was very badly injured. I could never repay the Dr's and nurses  for what they've done. Theres no amount of money.  So we  raise money and help as many other kids as possible
