RawHyde Adventures Offers World Class Riding Adventures Close to Home

RawHyde Adventures, the nation’s premier adventure motorcycle training and tour organization, is excited to announce their lineup of guided adventures coming up this summer. As American riders are forced to cancel virtually every international motorcycle tour they had planned for 2020, RawHyde is filling the void and offering world class riding adventures right here in the States.

“We are just thrilled to be able to offer riders a way to get back out into nature and see a side of this country that few people get to see,” explained Jim Hyde, founder of RawHyde Adventures. “Whether you are looking to replace a big international trip that you had to cancel, or you’re just eager to get out and ride into the backcountry, we will help make it happen!”

RawHyde’s guided motorcycle tours are designed to help riders get away from it all and experience the seclusion and scenery accessible only by venturing into the backcountry. These tours are oriented towards adventure riders, and each tour is equipped with guides, fully equipped support vehicles, and a luggage trailer. Accommodations are typically a mix of hotels and camping, and meals are all included.
