We all came into this year thinking the same thing…“Alright—10,000 miles.” It’s a big number. A serious challenge. Something you prepare for mentally just as much as physically. BUT wait, then an update came through—

👉 Approximately 11,000 miles for the 2026 Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge!

🏍️ Adjust – that’s part of this. Plans change. It’s not just distance… it’s time, fatigue, decisions, and moments where you have to dig deeper than you planned. And you adjust! That’s exactly what I’ll do.

I’ll adjust my plan, tighten things up, and get ready for what’s ahead. And truthfully… I’m looking forward to the added challenge.

Because if this was easy—anyone could do it. This ride was never about picking the easier path. It’s about pushing past comfort. It’s about finding out what you’re made of when things don’t go perfectly. It’s about continuing forward—especially when it gets harder. That’s where growth lives. And for me, what it means personally.

🏁 Let’s Go

11,000 miles.

No hesitation. No backing off.

Just a deeper breath… and a stronger reason to conquer the task at hand.
