Update:
Well the spring has come to Central Texas but the rain continues to fall.
Since the last post we have only be able to get out once for a 1000 mile weekend in the heart of the hill country. It was a stellar ride—everyone should take the opportunity to ride the “Texas Rockies.” Perhaps we will work up a tour for next spring when the weather is fine and the flowers and trees are showing their stuff.
Meanwhile, planning for this summer’s Colorado trip continues. AdventureOne will be guiding our two High Country routes and revisiting the canyon country of Utah and Arizona to set up some more primer routes. If you have never ridden the western canyon country or if you would just like to take a hassle-free trip around the west, keep in touch with us and watch the blog because we will be posting from the road. This trip will be all worked out by next summer and it will be breathtaking to say the least.
On all things motorcycle:
I am shopping for a new dual sport bike and would love to have a ktm but will likely settle for a DRZ 400s. The Suzuki appears to be an excellent all around ds mount with enough grunt to top the Colorado passes yet still light enough to lift out of a mud hole. We will be spending some time working out routes for our Dual Sport Safari trips—looking for camping spots were our crew can set up the luxury safari style camps and still not require the clients to exit the high country. I’m really excited about our Safaris—the trips are unlike any thing else out there. Rolling over high-mountain roads, topping passes allday and camping like a king in the wilderness backcountry--nothing to do but ride and enjoy the luxury and natural beauty that surrounds you.
