Exit Tours MC is a Unique Club Concept. If you are looking for a challenging ride in spectacular scenery, look no further than Exit Tours MC. Exit Tours is actually a non-profit motorcycle club that puts on Limited Entry Club Rides for 3 disciplines. Dual Sport, Singletrack and Adventure bikes. Amazing destinations in CO, CA, AZ, NM, NV, UT, Baja to Los Cabos & even rides in Cuba! These club rides are open to any Like-minded enthusiasts. These are not beginner rides. Though they do offer routes around many challenging sections.

Good time. Some challenging riding. Didn’t feel like I was getting herded around like cattle with the go at your own pace protocol. The organizer Mike seem to be a genuinely good person and friendly to everyone. You are likely going to get it in every group, but it did appear some riders Had their nose in the air. But most of the group definitely seemed to be good ol boys! I would likely do it again, except I would likely skip out on the McCullough Pass part of the ride because I have limited talent and I would classify that part of the ride as mofo. Better know how to ride a bike type shit.🐒😂. Hope to bring a close group of friends to the Wickenburg event next spring. I like to refer to us as the triple B Motorcycle gang “Buckeye Bad Boys”😂😎🤠

By Kevin K for LAS VEGAS 300 DUAL SPORT ADVENTURE on Nov 27, 2024

Another great ADV gathering, my second year in row. Top shelf accommodations, food, scenery, terrain and moto comradery!

By Mark M for Hartsel Lodge Adventure Rendezvous on Oct 17, 2024

Good times. I learned a ton of things about my equipment. Namely my navigation tools.. I did not know what I did not know and now I am much better at using what I have. The routes were amazing. I would have preferred some more challenging type trails but perhaps I am the only one wanting to bash rocks with a full sized adv bike.. Enough excitement was had without the need of bashing rocks though ! I will do another soon! Great work putting on and organizing an event like this.

By Don E for Hartsel Lodge Adventure Rendezvous on Oct 16, 2024

Thanks for the review Don. There were more challenging routes to bash on your full size adventure bike on. We believe the issue was finding a Like-minded enthusiasts to bash the rocks with you. Hopefully next year there will be more Like-minded enthusiasts that will take a few of the challenging routes with you !

By Exit Tours MC on Oct 16, 2024

A well crafted ride that many simply cannot experience on their own. The trails are eye popping beautiful. They offer technical challenges and plenty of excitement. Coupled with a well organized group, this is worth the price. A great group of new friends and appreciation for the bike. to many more!

By Joseph G for Spanish Border Adventure Ride on Oct 01, 2024

It was a blast to ride with the group of guys that were on this trip. Exit Tours MC did a great job hosting, providing dinner & a few drinks the evening we arrived, porting our equipment from stop to stop and sharing some stories and recommendations on where we were going and things in the neighborhood. Well planned, great support, friendly people, motorcycles. What's not to like?
