The Challenge Factory discussion

The Hoka Hey Motorcycle Challenge is a motorcycle endurance race. The inaugural 2010 challenge took participants along a mandatory route on back roads across the United States and Canada. The route crossed numerous mountain ranges, 33 Indian reservations, 25 national forests, eight deserts and six national parks

This year's ride will kick off on June 21, 2016 in southern California. The Challenge will run all the way to the coast of Maine before heading back to the finish line at Wolf's Run in the Seneca Nation.
