D.A.R.T. Ride to Colombia in February
President BMW Club
I got an email from Bill Dragoo about a ride he is sponsoring to Colombia in February. Jerry

"I want to offer you a chance to join us February 21- March 1 for an incredible, adventure ride in Colombia. We are partnering with my friend Micho Escobar of Elephant Moto in Colombia and TV personality and Survivalist Eva Rupert to make this one of the most incredible experiences an adventure rider could imagine.

Our route will take us out of Bogota to the Colonial city of Barichara, before entering the Jungle on an old, abandoned railroad. This route is moderately challenging for your skill level but will set your senses ablaze with the things we will see and do. From there we will continue on into the Eastern regions of the country where not so long ago it was not considered safe to travel. Along the way we will take a boat ride up the Honey River into the jungle where monkeys howl in the night and exotic birds wake us from our slumber in gossamer draped beds in bamboo huts on stilts. With the expert guidance of Micho, our only concern is that we must go home all too soon. 

I have traveled with Micho numerous times since we first met in 2012. A Colombian native, Micho is also a BMW certified tour guide and an all round super guy to hang out with. Micho studied and worked in the U.S. during his early years and understands our culture and expectations, which translates to an experience few foreign guides can equal. 

Eva Rupert is beyond description. A fellow adventure rider, she works with Overland Expo now, coordinating many of their events but as a TV personality and wilderness survival expert, just spending the time with her is one of life's most memorable experiences. 

The price of admission includes almost everything you will need after arrival, including bike rental, accommodations and most meals. Our guests will be responsible for any additional days, fuel and incidentals as these prices fluctuate considerably over time and with personal tastes. Bikes are new or nearly new BMWs of all sizes. During the ride you will be provided with expert training when needed, refresher tips, suggestions and hands on help if desired. 

Our time is short so if this trip interests you, please register at the link below. Don't miss this chance to enjoy the ride of a lifetime. 

I hope you can join us and please share this with your club members.

Respectfully,
