“Absolutely unforgettable. I’ve ridden a lot of roads, but nothing compares to the sheer beauty and freedom of a Whisky Throttle ride through the Rockies. The scenery was out of this world with sweeping mountain passes, winding forest routes, and endless skies. What really made it special was the people. Great company, great energy, and guides who clearly put a ton of heart and planning into every detail. I just got to ride and take it all in. Can’t wait to do it again.”

"I had just bought my first ever dirt bike/dual sport when I joined FRDSR.  Members were very welcoming and friendly to me.  Meet a lot of new people and made some great riding buddies.  I attend (and enjoy!) several riding trips each year and always look forward to the next one.  Lots of helpful technique learning class which are quite valuable in the sport."
