Exit Tours M/C , Rocky Mountain SingleTrack and Mountain Tech Yamaha
have teamed up to bring you three extreme Colorado motorcycle Adventures in 2013
on the Continental Divide. A SingleTrack trail ride in July, a 500 mile Dual Sport Adventure
in August and a round of the AMA Yamaha Super Ténéré Adventure Riding Series
in the Autumn Hot Springs Adventure motorcycle Tour in September.
 Updated 4/13/2013 What will make these rides spectacular? There are 5 reasons that stand out:
First is the diversity of terrain and trails. Colorado is an utterly amazing place to ride motorcycles. From the arid vastness of Bonanza with its extreme 2 track and old mining
roads, to the rugged passes of the Sawatch Range & the magnificence of the single track
trails near Sargents.
The second reason is the weather. The Continental Divide is rideable only in the
summertime because of snow on the passes. When the rest of the country is baking in
summer heat waves, Rocky Mountain temperatures are an enjoyable high 70's. And
even cooler temperatures on the high mountain passes.
Early July morning in the Rocky Mountains
Summer Storms are prevalent in Colorado, and that keeps the dust down and makes for
excellent traction. Almost every afternoon the storm clouds build and unleash torrents of
water for an hour or two.
The third reason is the almost complete lack of population along our chosen routes. There
are very few signs of civilization. You'll feel that you are almost riding in a foregone era.
Fourth, our playground will be among the densest concentration of high peaks in North
America.
Fifth, these rides have been laid out for maximum enjoyment. You'll have route charts,
GPS tracks, outriders, trailside support, meals and gas stops planned so you'll get all the
riding you want on well thought out routes. Camping is included with the Rocky Mountain
Dual Sport and Lodging is included on the Hot Springs Adventure Tour.
Exit Tours M/C , a Colorado non-profit Corporation was formed in Salida,
Colorado in 2012 for the express purpose of producing AMA Dual Sport motorcycle
events in central Colorado's Rocky Mountains.
