What’s better than sunshine, motorcycles and an evening margarita? How about an immersive off-pavement training and tour experience with industry-renowned adventure riding instructor and Host of MOTOTREK, Dusty Wessels, and BMW-Certified Off Road Instructor and 2010 GS Trophy U.S. team member, Bill Dragoo. West38Moto and D.A.R.T. (Dragoo Adventure Rider Training) have teamed up to bring you professional off-road training followed by five days riding in beautiful Baja California, Mexico. Your week begins with two days of tour-specific, skill-building exercises in sunny Borrego Springs, California. The course is intended for beginner to intermediate level riders but riders of all levels will benefit.

Have your passports ready. After sharpening your skills and boosting your confidence, prepare to cross the border into Mexico! You will spend the next five days riding mostly off-pavement roads from the mountains to the Sea of Cortez to the Pacific coast. Kick back at the end of each day with a fresh margarita or a cold cerveza.

Journey to the Overland Expo in Loveland, Colorado! If you have never been, this event is fantastic! The Overland Expo is “the world’s most unique event for do-it-yourself adventure travel enthusiasts, with hundreds of session-hours of classes for 4-wheel-drive and adventure motorcycling, inspirational programs, the Overland Film Festival, roundtable discussions, demonstrations, food, and a large expo featuring vendors of adventure travel equipment, camping gear, bikes, vehicles, and services.”

This will be a modified Continental Divide tour. We won’t go from Canada to Mexico but, we’ll see some of the best roads and historic sites through Wyoming and Colorado. During this tour we’ll camp in the wild (with hot showers and bathrooms), throw in a night in a hotel/lodge (to keep connected and get a break from camping). We’ll teach you all the skills necessary to be comfortable in this environment and all the skills necessary to have tons of fun – campfire, food, and drinks at night. Once we arrive at the Overland Expo, camping will be available to you for up to four nights during the course of the event. West38Moto will cover your camping and entrance fees for the event.

Enjoy this women only training. Off-road skills don’t happen overnight.  We want you to feel comfortable when you transition from the pavement to the dirt, and our training will help you build the finesse required to adventure ride safely.  Breaking down each movement into easy-to-understand steps is the key to our training.  The Triple Threat—or clutch, brake, and throttle—is one example of our focus on the fundamentals of controlling the motorcycle at slow speeds.  By re-learning how to precisely control the actions of clutching, braking, and throttling, you’ll maximize your riding capability using this core principle.  The Triple Threat is the backbone of our training program and it carries over into every exercise we do. One thing is for sure…you will have a lot more confidence, the necessary tools, and refined skills to help you “Ride your Ride.” Also consider adding the 2 Day Upgrade Beyond Training Ride to further enhance the experience and practice what you’ve learned!

**NOTE: if you select the beyond training 9/11/21 – 9/14/21
