Ride Concept
Exit Tours MC’s Dual Sport and Singletrack rides are non-competitive.
They consist of as much dirt and the least amount of pavement as possible.
Our Adventure loops use as little pavement as possible, and are something you could drive your wife’s Subaru over.
Since the bikes are all street legal...
Events start from a private property, travel on highways and County Roads to access dirt roads and trailheads.
-
There may be all day loops that cloverleaf out of a central location.
-
Or there may be overnight routes on loops where we portage your overnight gear.
Since you will be self-navigating...
-
On the route, there is no official start time.
-
Since we navigate with Phone compatible Ride with GPS tracks.
-
You may start any time you wish, though typically we like to see everyone on the trail by 9 am.
-
We do not ride in large groups.
-
The Club insists everyone use the Buddy system and look out for each other throughout the day.
-
There are no guides. To wait on.
MOSQUITO PASS IS THE HIGHEST PASS IN THE COUNTRY THAT GOES SOMEWHERE.
FROM LEADVILLE TO ALMA.

WHAT IS THE BUDDY SYSTEM?
It is what can save your life!
-
If you were riding alone and got off the route and then got hurt…
-
You may not be missed until the end of the day.
-
For this reason we must insist that All riders use the buddy system.
-
Obviously 2 (or 3) riders that enter together will be buddies.
-
4 or more should split into pairs.
-
Team up with others and watch out for each other.
BUDDY RIDING PROTOCOL
Don’t make a major turn unless you know your buddy will also.
-
Wait at major turns.
-
If buddies get separated…
-
Both go back to the last place they saw each other.
Your ride will be enhanced if you ride with others who are:
Of the same skill level
-
Riding similar motorcycles
-
Have compatible desires for the ride
-
Speed of travel
-
