TRAVEL FEATURE I COLORADO ROCKIES WITH EXIT TOURS MC
P102
As mentioned the club's
tours are completely self-
guided, via GPS tracks to
navigate the unmarked routes.
This means, you can go at
your own pace, start your ride
whenever you want (though
the club wants you on the trail
by 9 a.m.), ride with whoever
and how many you want, and, if
desired, make deviations along
the way. But the best part is
that Exit Tours plans the route
for you and loads the track into
your personal GPS device that
you bring, which, yes, can be
your phone. (They have an app,
so you don't need cell service.)
"With all the widespread
OHV closures, knowing where
to go and how to get the best
time out of your riding day is
now more valuable than ever
before," the club says. "We
have scouted out the best
routes and eliminated the dead
ends, private property fences,
closed routes and roadblocks."
That sounds like a pretty sweet
deal to us.
Exit Tours also plot out the gas
stops, food stops, lodging and all
the logistics, so you can just ride
and focus on having fun.
Our six-day ride went by in
the blink of an eye. Some of
the highlights included Trout
Creek Pass, where Highways
24 and 285 come together
forming the Crossroads of the
Rockies.
Our routes included 16 of
the 18 iconic Rocky Mountain
passes in the heart of the
Rockies. Some paved, a few
fun twisty dirt roads and several
challenging Jeep roads were
the norm.
