      The experience was everything I expected and more. I was out of my comfort zone, which is what I needed. The instructors are tops in their field, patient, and are excellent teachers. I would recommend this program to anyone who wants to improve their off-road skills and have and a lot of fun doing it. Plus the accommodations are top-shelf and the scenery is perfect for off-roading .

      Tremendous experience. This trip hit all the high points for an amazing getaway. From the moment I arrived at Two Hats Ranch, it was clear that the Two Hats / Jeff Stanton Adventures team has mastered hospitality. I was met at the front door and welcomed with an offer to relax with a cool drink after a long ride (Thank you, Lacey). Accommodations were clean, spacious and comfortable. They paid attention to small details like thorough daily room cleaning with fresh towels and special touches such as local bespoke toiletries. Meals were well planned with an extremely fresh mix of local flavors. Portions were perfect for a group spending 200+ miles a day on adventure bikes. Colby and his team are such gracious hosts. Access to Jeff Stanton and his team was simply unbeatable. There is no better experience for a motocross fan. Talking life, business and motorbikes with the JSA Team / eclectic group of guest was a welcome surprise. The group had incredibly diverse backgrounds but we bonded over a shared love of riding. The Triumph Tiger 900's performed well both on and offroad. These bike were equally as comfortable on single track as they were at highway speeds. What about the ride? Save the best for last. I am still giddy over riding through the beautiful Michigan countryside while following one of the best to ever swing a leg over a motorcycle. We just don't get those experiences in normal life. Jeff's pride in his home state (Pure Michigan) came through clearly during the ride. We learned about the abundant local wildlife and agriculture. Routes were varied and curated for the riders / conditions. Lunch stops were well planned at local restaurants. We even got Jeff to stop riding long enough one afternoon to get a quick cone at the local ice cream shop. It was also clear to see that Jeff's success on the track and thereafter is not solely due to a high level of talent. He has an unstoppable work ethic coupled with an authentic approachable nature. He also knows how to build a good team. Fred (Cardo whisper extraordinaire) fitted all our helmets with the latest Cardo Edge. Communication was clear. This addition was a welcome surprise. We were able to talk about obstacles on the trail, ask questions, keep the pack together and discuss what we were experiencing. Fred was also the glue that kept the group together by riding at the tail. He is an accomplished rider in his own right who seemed to always be in the right place at the right time. We met Troy on day two. He is the contact from JSA for riders during registration through post ride follow-up. His gregarious nature added to everyone's enjoyment of the riding and social times. Troy was equally quick along the trail as he was with a story off the trail. What is a measure of a successful trip? My uncle and I are already planning to join a 2025 trip and recruit others to share the experience. Thank you Two Hats, JSA, Jeff, Troy and Fred for two days I will not forget.

      This is one of the best ways to experience Michigan and Adventure Motorcycles. The accommodations at Two Hats Ranch are phenomenal as well. From a trail ride tailored to the group, to meals from a private chef, this entire experience is second to none. My mind was at ease knowing I didn't have to worry about the bike, the food, my room, or the planning. Show up ready to ride and have a great time. Every person we interacted with were friendly, informative, helpful, and caring. Highly recommend this trip for every aspect.

      We had a great time. Terrific Triumph motorcycles. Good food. Good weather. Good riders and new friends made. Jeff is a great leader in every way. Approachable, friendly, professional and family man. Sweep rider Fred fit the role perfectly. Hands on, encouraging and everything on time. Accomodations were upscale with great food and service. Many many miles ridden and conditions and terrain were challenging and fun. Thank you Jeff Stanton Adventures for a great Michigan experience. I hope to return in the future.

      If you don't enjoy this you basically don't like motorcycles. Wonderful staff, delicious food, and a great place to stay. Awesome riding and going back soon.
