What is the Non-Rider Partner Program?
The Non-Rider Partner Program means you can share the journey without having to ride.
While the riders take to the road, you'll have time to explore the destination your own way — from local villages, markets and sightseeing to relaxed lunches, cultural experiences and simply enjoying some downtime.
At different points throughout the tour, you'll have opportunities to reconnect with the riders, share memorable experiences and come together again over dinner and stories from the day.
