MOROCCO
ADVENTURE TOUR
NOVEMBER 8 - 23, 2025
DECEMBER 6 - 21, 2025
This small group adventure includes one day of training in advanced riding skills, mechanics, and navigation. This tour is unlike any other – we will have anchor point stops and the points in between is decided by the group. This is not a tour that adheres to a specific time schedule or route, the dynamic nature of this tour makes it YOUR tour.
Major stops along the route will include paces like the tanneries of Fes, the blue city of Chefchaouen, and ancient Roman ruins. You will be expected to service your bike each evening, find lodging, and navigate Moroccan traffic all while carrying your gear on your motorcycle.
Take a trip back to the origins of ADV riding and travel across international borders to a place you will never forget.
UPPER MUSTANG, NEPAL
ADVENTURE TOUR
September 15-27, 2025
This expedition goes into the secluded upper Mustang Region, nestled within the rain shadow of the highest mountain range in the world – the Himalaya. Only recently opened to foreigners with a Nepali guide, and protected by a restrictive access permit, this isolated region is the best-preserved remnant of Tibet.
Access to this region is not cheap, not easy and at times… not comfortable. However, the scenery at over 12000′, the undisturbed culture and the feeling of total isolation are completely worth the effort and sacrifice. Visit Lo Manthang, the forbidden city and the last piece of authentic Tibetan life.
THE FOLLOWING ARE PROPOSED TRIPS:
Bret is still working out the details on these trips. There is still a 50% chance they may not happen at all, but we wanted to let you know where we’re hoping to go in the future.
ICELAND
ADVENTURE TOUR
2026 or 2027
Anyone can ride a motorcycle through Iceland, but accessing its most jaw‑dropping landscapes requires traveling Iceland’s famed F‑roads, which are off‑limits to rental cars and motorcycles.
On this proposed tour, Bret has already secured special permission to ride these remote routes alongside Icelandic locals, unlocking secrets most visitors never see, like the geothermal pools of Landmannalaugar via F208, the dramatic Askja caldera and Viti crater lakes on F88/F910, or the breathtaking Stuðlagil basalt canyon and Laki craters only reachable by F‑road tracks. Our goal is to ride alongside locals and explore Iceland like you’ve never seen it before.
COLOMBIA
ADVENTURE TOUR
2026 or 2027
Skip the congested Pan‑American Highway and dive into Colombia’s most captivating landscapes—from the twisting dirt tracks of Chicamocha Canyon through remote villages and the lush backroads of the Coffee Triangle. This journey is best experienced with local guides—and Bret is in the process of securing a connection.
With over 30 years of teaching motorcyclists and having already ridden the entirety of South America and Africa, Bret offers unmatched safety oversight, helping you ride with confidence on steep, narrow trail networks. More than just a tour, this journey fosters real cultural interactions—stopping for fresh fruit juice in village plazas, chatting with locals over arepas, and soaking in hot springs after dusty days.
