Motorcycle touring in Covid times
2020 was rough on you. Courtesy of Covid-19, you probably had to postpone or cancel some if not all of your travels; you had to cancel concerts, dining out, even seeing your friends and family. You have been cooped up for so long…
So you may wonder…should I book this motorcycle trip? We believe that answer is a resounding YES. For a variety of reasons:
Motorcycle touring is, by nature, the perfect social distancing form of traveling. Temple of Moto’s tours are small (10 motorcycles max) and involve activities that are carried out almost exclusively outside. All our staff takes Covid-19 seriously, and our activities are structured to maximize fun and minimize risks as much as possible.
If you are booking one of our Basecamp tours, your Covid-19 related risks will be limited even further. Our Private Chef will be cooking your meals for you, and you only, by the campfire. You will not even have to sit in a restaurant with other guests…And you will be sleeping in canvas tents (very luxurious tents, we may add), thus further minimizing any contact with other people: no hotel to be in!
By the time our first Black Hills Basecamp tour takes place in May (we are sold out for that one, but we have still room for the Black Hills Basecamp tour in August), vaccination will be advanced, and the risks should be reduced.
As Temple of Moto, we are following guidance from local health departments and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and minimize risks for our guests and for our staff.
We have also implemented a special cancellation policy specifically designed to take care of situations that may arise as a result of a possible resurgence of Covid-19 related travel bans. As a result, you can book with confidence, and rest assured that we will work on a one on one basis with all of our guests to provide you with the best solution, should the need to cancel arise.
