Today the riders faced one of the most unpredictable legs of the Motorcycle TransAm yet. We left Durango, Colorado at a chilly 36 degrees and dropped from 8,400 feet to 4,000 feet on our way to Moab, Utah; 291 miles of grit. This ride is not for the weak. I watched riders doing push-ups at […]

Stage 10 of the Motorcycle TransAm took riders 272 miles from Trinidad, CO to Durango, CO. The day started brisk at 50 degrees, so the riders layered up in everything from leathers to snowmobile coats. We rolled out of Trinidad in style with the mayor waving the green flag and a full police escort leading

Stage 9 of the Motorcycle TransAm took us 272 miles from Dodge City, KS to Trinidad, CO. The riders left behind the straight, flat roads of Kansas and eastern Colorado and started climbing into long hills with mountains rising in the distance. The landscape is changing, and you can feel we’re on the edge of

Stage 8 of the Motorcycle TransAm took us from Augusta, KS to Dodge City, KS, home of the famous Dodge City 300 race! Today’s route stretched 225 miles across some of the flattest terrain we have seen yet, with elevation changes only between 1200 and 2500 feet. It might not have been the most dramatic

Stage 6 of the Motorcycle TransAm took us 278 miles from Cape Girardeau, MO to Branson, MO. Sean called today’s route the rolly pollies, meaning big sweeping hills and turns that seemed to go on forever. From everything we’ve been hearing, the riders really enjoyed it. Of course, a day like this does not come

Day 5 wasn’t the same kind of challenge as yesterday, but it was still a beautiful ride! The route took us along long sweeping roads lined with trees and fields, winding alongside rivers like the Ohio, and finally across the mighty Mississippi as we rolled into Cape Girardeau. It may have been easier terrain, but

Today was the biggest challenge yet on the Motorcycle TransAm. Riders faced the legendary Tail of the Dragon, a road that tests even the most modern of motorcycles. Now imagine tackling it on a machine that’s over 100 years old. Every single rider who took on the challenge DID IT, and what an accomplishment that

Day 3 was a day of climbing into the mountains of North Carolina! We went from 963 feet in elevation all the way up to 3000 feet, and the change was no joke. The day started with an immediate road closure, but our riders didn’t hesitate and kept pushing forward. At first the hills were

Today was another great day of antique motorcycles! We covered 142 miles from Apex, NC to Statesville, NC, winding through some fun twisty country roads. The landscape started to shift a little, still gentle, but we began noticing a few more hills compared to our flat first day. Nothing too wild yet, just enough to
