Getting here from Grand Junction

Most riders follow the I-70 / US-50 corridor toward Pueblo, then use our driving instructions for the last stretch to the training range. For many Grand Junction riders, Pueblo is a clearer trip than heading into the Denver metro — same strengths, one straightforward plan.

We email driving instructions with your state-required eCourse link after you book. Just bring your driver license. Planning an overnight or two-day trip is common from the Western Slope; leave room for the 7:45 AM start.

Also useful: our cost / what’s included page, the Colorado motorcycle endorsement guide, and the Southern Colorado hub.

Grand Junction & Western Slope questions

How often do classes run for Western Slope riders?
Colorado Motorcycle Academy runs year-round in Pueblo, with firm start dates you can plan a trip around, and keeps your date even with one student.
Is Pueblo realistic from Grand Junction?
Yes for many riders. The I-70 / US-50 corridor into Pueblo is a clear plan, and a lot of Western Slope students find it simpler than a Denver-metro trip. We email driving instructions with your state-required eCourse link after you book.
Will my class get canceled if nobody else signs up?
No. We teach even with one student. We cancel only for rare severe weather or emergencies — so you don’t lose a planned trip to a low-enrollment cancellation.
Do I need my own motorcycle?
No. A small, nearly new training bike is included in the $395.
Is this enough for my Colorado motorcycle endorsement?
Yes — pass the course tests and you get a waiver card, good for 180 days from issue. Take the original card to the Colorado DMV (appointment required) to add the M endorsement.
Already ride a little?
Look at the one-day Basic Rider Course II for riders with clutch and low-speed skills. Not sure which class fits?

Very competent and helpful instructor! Me and my friend took this class to a trip abroad and received very good instruction, tips and skills from the class! We were also given very realistic expectations due to weather.

Highly recommended. Shane is great! I did the 2 day course as a new rider and learned a lot. Felt really comfortable the whole time and development some good skills. Thank you so much. I had a great time and now have my motorcycle endorsement.

Great course, great instructor. I recommend even experienced riders take the full course. It's the same price and can perhaps give you a refresh and maybe teach you something that will save your life.
