Gnarly Routes is a skills based riding experience that offers guests a riding vacation they will never forget.
Co-founders, Russell Bobbitt and Cole Kirkpatrick started Gnarly Routes after spending years traveling with each other in search of the ultimate riding experience. They wanted to give other riders the chance to get a taste of the adventures that they have found from decades of riding motorcycles. Gnarly Routes enables riding enthusiasts to rent the latest generation trail bikes and fly to hand-picked riding destinations that meet Russ and Cole's high standards. The routes are designed to be centered around having the best day out on single track trails with challenging sections to get the adrenaline pumping! Don’t worry we take time throughout the ride to provide riding tips and demonstrate skills to help you improve your ride!
Logan Adams joined our team in 2022 to enable us to offer additional dates for our guests and has been a great addition to the Gnarly Routes team. His positive attitude and love for two-wheels makes him a blast to have along on a Gnarly Routes tour.
Gnarly Routes tour packages include a three-day PREMIUM bike rental of choice! (KTM 250/300 XC-W TPI or KTM 450 XCF-W) High-end lodging where we all stay together for a community experience. A bang up breakfast served everyday and lunch provided during the day on the trail. Dinner will be separate and vary depending on tour location. (meals and transportation means optional)
