Highlights

MAY TOUR CANCELED DUE TO WILD FIRES

Intermediate dirt rider?! Join us!! We’ve pulled together an epic dirt-focused, all-inclusive 6 day tour around New Mexico; and because we’re covering a lot of dirt-miles each day, this tour is for intermediate dirt riders only.

Every day of this tour hits open desert AND gorgeous mountain road, and everything in-between. We’ll hit sections of the BDR, explore Elephant Rock, pass a wolf sanctuary, cruise through desert cattle ranches, weave through National Forrests, and hit elevations that may make you think we’re in Tahoe, CA. The riding is the perfect blend of fun open desert & technical mountain terrain, then topped off with some perfectly twisty roads along the way. You think you know NM, but just wait!

Beginning and ending near Albuquerque, you can fly in & rent one of our Yamaha T700s or trailer/ride your own bike down. All you have to do is get there & ride, and we’ll take care of the rest! This all inclusive tour includes lodging, meals, & fuel.

  • Pre-ride check list & bike walk-through
  • High-end double occupancy lodging
  • Local amazing meals
  • Fuel along the way
  • Historical site visits
  • Amazing scenery
  • Trained guide for riding tips along the way

If you're flying in, we'll pick you up from the airport and get you over to the hotel where your bike will be prepped and waiting. Riding your own bike?

What’s not Included

Bike Rentals, riding gear, & airfare are not included within this tour, but we can help! Just let us know what you need and we’ll help you get there.

Motorcycle equipment

Tires. 50/50 knobby tires are highly recommended, but this decision depends on the type of riding you’d like to do post class. If you can’t decide, give us a ring and we’ll talk you through brand options and types to make sure you have a tire suitable for you. We’ll also have tires on hand at the ranch if we need a last minute swap out.

Hand guards. High quality & strong hand guards to protect levers are recommended. We use and recommend HDB Ultimate Hand guards.

Mirrors. Doubletake Mirrors help prevent damage to the expensive original parts. If you have your factory mirrors still on, bring a back ups just in case or remove them before class starts.

Luggage. Hard panniers can be dangerous & heavy, and are strongly discouraged. Soft luggage or tail bags are definitely recommended for carrying luggage during tours. A small backpack or Camelbak is also ideal for carrying snacks & water over tank bags that may get in the way.

Required Riding Gear

Helmets, riding boots, and gloves are required for all classes. And body armor is strongly recommended. The more protected you feel, the more you’ll push out of your comfort zone and learn new skills! If you have any questions on your gear, hit us up anytime.
