Exit Tours M/C is a Non-Profit Motorcycle Club formed in Salida, Colorado in 2012.
Salida means ‘Exit’ in Spanish. Salida is where the Arkansas River ‘exits’ the Rocky Mountains.
‘Tours’ because we tour the mountains.
Exit Tours was founded to work with the USFS and BLM on adopting trails in the national forest and to put on motorcycle rides for our friends, their family and guests.
There are no requirements for meetings, workdays or political action. If your a competent rider, just join and ride.
Exit Tours MC has put on motorcycle rides in the Heart of the Rockies and the West since 2012.
The principles of Exit Tours MC helped put on the Leapin’ Lizard Enduro in Ballinger Canyon, promoted the Hi-Mountian Motocross in Pozo and Shandon Lions MX in Shandon, CA in the 80’s and early 90’s.
ETMC is a Colorado Non-Profit and a portion of any proceeds will be donated to the Blue Ribbon Coalition.
With all the widespread OHV closures, knowing where to go and how to get the best out of your riding day is now more valuable than ever before. We have scouted out the best routes and eliminated the dead ends, private property fences and closed routes.
Since you will be self-navigating the route with GPS Tracks, there is no official start time, you may start any time you wish, but typically before 9 am we like to see everyone on the trail. We do not ride in large groups. We insist everyone use the buddy system and look out for each other throughout the day. There are no guides.
- Riders spread out, yet get to know new people, find new riding partners and enjoy the great camaraderie of your fellow enthusiasts.
- We plot out the gas stops, food stops, camping locales, and all the logistics work for a fun and efficient day of riding.
- If you want good challenges, the best balance of roads, trails, and incredible scenery, and a fun time with no work putting it all together, this is it.
DISCLAIMER:
- Exit Tours Motorcycle Club rides are not competitions, nor are prizes or trophies awarded.
- All participants are on their own, riding at their own pace, at their own risk, and always have the option to follow the designated route or to follow another route of their choosing.
- Exit Tours M/C rides are non-competitive, non-commercial, paying for the amenities with the ride and not for the ride itself. These are recreational club rides for club members only.
- The Ride starts and finishes on private property. Amenities are provided, such as meals, fuel portage, parking-meeting arrangements and camping.
- In many areas private property boundaries are not well defined or even posted.
- It is possible that anyone following an Exit Tours Motorcycle Club route could get behind closed gates or ride somewhere they are not supposed to be and possibly get cited or yelled at.
- Every Exit Tours M/C member is advised of this in advance of our rides, and by participating takes full and sole responsibility for their actions and well-being, without exception.
- We recommend leaving early and keeping stops to a minimum.
- You leave when you wish, ride at your own pace and we do not ride in large groups.
- We also highly recommend you come with a friend and be responsible for each other throughout the day.
- If you have to ask if you can ride your motorcycle over some mountain 4×4 pass’s and survive, you probably don’t have the knowledge or skills to do it.
- People who can do it safely already have informed themselves based on past experience and are confident enough in their skills and machinery that they don’t have to ask.
- If you have to ask, don’t do it, even if you have ridden all of the toughest trails in Iowa…
