SEDONA, AZ—WildWind Motorcycle Tours has announced its latest ride of the red rock wonderlands, national monuments, secret canyons and hidden treasures of the great Southwest. This May, the operator will lead the Ride Around The Maypole tour, a special guided program of the Grand Canyon, Bryce Canyon, Lake Powell, Canyonlands and Arches national parks, Monument Valley, and Canyon de Chelly, among other fantastic destinations, from its base in Sedona, AZ.

Clients can use their own bike, ride as passenger with one of WildWind’s professional tour guides, or a rental bike will be provided. The seven day/six-night Ride Around The Maypole tour kicks off from Sedona May 21 with a ride up spectacular Oak Creek Canyon, returning to Sedona May 27.

The 1,225-mile tour will stop to experience some of the Southwest’s off-the-ridden-road hidden treasures. Participants will be treated to some of the most scenic, soul-shaking roads in the world, ancient Indian ruins, spectacular canyons, old trading posts and much more of this timeless land that was once at the bottom of the sea. Winding back through the great Navajo Reservation, the tour concludes where it began, amid the erosion-sculptured rocks, clear creeks and spiritual vortices of Sedona.

Meanwhile, WildWind will lead a unique tour to the Burning Man Festival, held annually on a playa in the Nevada desert August 25 to September 1. Sturgis should be this much fun. Burning Man can only be described a once-in-a-lifetime, must-see-to-be-believed event, a mix of Halloween, Woodstock and the most captivating and intoxicating, clothes-optional interactive arts festival imaginable (visit www.burningman.com for event pictures and information). Space is limited on WildWind’s Return to Burning Man program.

“The Town to tough to die,” Tombstone, AZ, has been added to the WildWind experience as part of its southern Arizona Good Guys and Gunslingers tour, visiting the Wild West’s bawdiest saloons, brothels and bad guy haunts, as well as the spectacular scenery of Chiricahua National Monument, Patagonia and others. Wyatt Earp has got nothing on us.
Tours vary in duration and price. For reservations and more information about these fully guided programs, call WildWind Motorcycle Tours at 602-690-2864

MOTORCYCLE EDUCATION:

Responding to increasing demand, WildWind is now offering riding
classes for beginners, and other continuing Biker Ed courses. The
beginner course involves theory and practice, teaching the basics of
riding and safety in the classroom and on the asphalt. But, of course,
this is not your ordinary riding school. WildWind’s team of veteran
experts and biker savants will tutor eager and obedient pupils in the
ways of the biker lifestyle. “Biker Etiquette” and “Biker Outfitting”
are included in the beginner's riding course, as is "What is Cool?," a
rare examination of the passion, poetry and true meaning of
motorcycling.

For more experienced riders, WildWind is offering “Advanced Curving
Techniques” for those who want to get the most out of their bike and
the ride. Also widely requested is the company’s, “Zen and the Art of
Buying a Damned Bike.” This curriculum looks at how to get a great deal
on a used bike or negotiate your best deal for a new motorcycle.
WildWind will accompany its clients on bike hunting expeditions within
two zip codes of its base in Sedona, AZ.

The “Beginner's Riding and Get Right in the Mind Program” and
“Advanced Curving” start at $185.
