Sure, it’s only November, but it seems like lots of folks are looking forward to a brand new year. Needless to say, we’ve got a few ideas on ways to leave 2020 in the rear view mirror. Today, we’ll feature a few, but be warned: we are scheming up some more guided adventure ideas to keep you away from home, so stay tuned!

Before we dig into those, we also wanted to share with everyone that operating within the motorcycle travel industry this year has been… interesting. Thankfully, we provide a service which allows guests to have socially distant adventures, while prioritizing guest and staff safety.

So far, we have adapted to be well positioned and have such enormous appreciation of our guests who have communicated with our crew if they had questions or needed to reschedule. We have made some practical adjustments as every business has in order to continue to deliver thoughtful and safe experiences.

Our management team is happy to talk to anyone who may have more questions or concerns.

And now we return to our regularly scheduled MotoQuest newsletter.
