Trailblazer
Expeditions 2027

A Trailblazer Expedition is your chance to join Joshua, founder of Wild Roads, on a genuine motorcycle research expedition. We ride, explore, eat, drink and experience the destination while discovering the roads, places and experiences that could become future Wild Roads tours.

Not quite. Trailblazers are about exploration and discovery. You're riding alongside Joshua as we investigate a destination and help shape the Wild Roads adventures of tomorrow.

Trailblazers are for adventurous riders who are comfortable with the unknown, enjoy discovering new places and don't mind occasionally stepping outside the usual tourist trail.

You don't need to be a professional rider, but you should be confident handling your motorcycle over long days and varied roads. Trailblazers are adventurous by nature, so flexibility, enthusiasm and a willingness to explore are essential.

We stop. We explore. We investigate. That's the whole point. A hidden road, incredible restaurant, remote viewpoint or unexpected experience can become part of the expedition — and potentially a future Wild Roads adventure.

You'll experience a destination before the route has been turned into a finished Wild Roads tour, ride roads that may never be available to ordinary tour groups and become part of the story behind future Wild Roads adventures.

It means we're looking for riders who are prepared to embrace the unknown. There may be long days, unexpected detours, unfamiliar roads and experiences that aren't on a conventional itinerary. That's exactly what makes a Trailblazer a Trailblazer.

Some will be. Some won't. That's part of the adventure. We'll have a broad plan, but routes may change as we discover new roads, viewpoints, restaurants and places worth exploring.

You're not simply following a finished itinerary — you're helping discover it. The roads you ride and places you experience could eventually become part of a future Wild Roads tour.

Yes. Trailblazer Expeditions are personally led by Joshua, founder of Wild Roads, making them a much more intimate and hands-on experience.

Trailblazer groups are intentionally kept small so we can explore freely, adapt our plans and enjoy the destination without the restrictions of a large group.

Yes. Food, people, landscapes and local culture are just as important as the riding. We're looking for the experiences that make a destination genuinely memorable.

Because exploration works best in small groups. Keeping numbers low allows us to remain flexible, follow our curiosity and properly investigate the places we discover.

Trailblazer Expeditions are typically priced around 30% lower than the same adventure when it launches as a fully curated Wild Roads tour. That makes them a fantastic opportunity to explore incredible countries for a fraction of the cost, while experiencing them alongside Joshua as the routes and experiences are being discovered. You get the adventure — without paying the premium of a finished, fully curated tour.
