Off-road imagery is often used for commercializing vehicles and highlighting the newest features. Having grown up in Florida with our flat terrain, these appealed to me differently and awakened a sense of adventure. My first off-road trip was a route that took us 600 miles through the wilderness from a small town in norther New Mexico, through Colorado, and ending in National Forest, Wyoming. Once we realized the thorough planning required and skills ranging from basic outdoor living and cooking to map reading, knowledge of the outdoors, and even more complex mechanical and medical knowledge we gathered our skillset and took a whole year to ensure we could execute the trip with minimal mishaps and maximal enjoyment. The time, money, sweat and tears in the process were worth every minute! For those with the gritty adventurous spirit and the courage to step out of their comfort zone, I have created Rough Riders Adventures, so they too may share and grow from this outdoor wonderful challenge.

How it works

Once you decide to take the trip of your life time you will receive a detailed packing list. To ensure your packing list meets your needs and does not exceed the limited space in the chase truck, you will also be sent a personalized duffel bag to your home and will only be allowed to bring the provided duffel bag on the route. Let's challenge the minimalist packer in you!

You will be provided the exact starting point and will be responsible for your own transport there at the starting point of the designed route. To ensure your safety and maximize your adventure, once there, you will be required to show proficiency on the bike with a small course; this will allow you to become acquainted with your vessel and will allow your team of professionals to demonstrate a few additional, useful functions of your equipment. Once cleared, the adventure begins!

Though the terrain may progressively challenge your skills, don't worry we will be there to give you pointers along the way. Despite our love for the outdoors, we are not savages you know! So camping tents will be set up at reasonable stopping points where you'll have the opportunity to settle in while our crew prepares your meals and additional amenities. As a treat for having survived your days as Rough Riders, a night cap will be provide to enjoy your time under the stars. Upon the end of the course, you will be transported back to the city of origin to catch your flight home so you can go brag about the adventures you had.
