What Is It Like To Ride A Motorcycle In Patagonia?

Group Size

8/14/2019

 
It’s all in how you run the trip. Different styles in the business model are important to stand apart. There are many tours that I would call “Classic Style,” where you have a large group, a chase truck and a lot of hand holding of the clients. While I certainly take care of our riders on every tour, I also try to create a team spirit and group effort environment. I do this mainly through smaller group sizes, my personal background, and a more personal approach to each tour. It is one of the advantages of being an owner/operator guide service. We can create what others cannot.

The biggest gain in the Adventure Riding world in my opinion is a small group size. There is not one other aspect that enhances the tour experience more than a small group. No big fancy moto can create a better group dynamic than simply limiting the group size and creating a sense of purpose for everyone. I learned a long time ago that sometimes you can get more done with less. In this case, that rings true; we can experience more if we ride as a team.

​Patagonia is a place of extremes, with great riding and a lot to do off the bike as well. If you come to rent and ride in a group, I recommend limiting the group size. This does two things. It helps you organize a better ride, and it creates excitement with your friends. It also helps people commit to the ride, which believe it or not, is sometimes hard to do. Another advantage for small group size is finding hostels and hotels, which will be much easier. In remote regions of the world such as Patagonia all things that may get taken for granted back home should be accounted for.  I often give on important piece of advice to riders - schedule a full day or at least half a day for unforeseen issues: a flat tire, a missed ferry connection, road construction, basically anything that may take time away from what you had planned. After all it is an Adventure Ride.
