Trip organizer, who are you?

My name is Sebastian Filutowski. I race FTR, ride at Croom about once a month, organize Dirt Bike and Sportbike trips, and all sorts of other fun things. My full time profession is CEO of an Ophthalmology practice. I have plenty of references within the dirt bike community that I can provide you with if you do not already know who I am. If you want to see how we ride and get to know us a bit, check out my YouTube Channel.

Trip Logistics/Administrative FAQs:

  • How much does it cost/what is included? It’s $950 to put your bike on the trailer. Your payment covers ONLY transport to and from Colorado. If you sign up for Colorado AND Utah, the cost is only $700 per trip. If you drive one or both ways, your cost will be reduced 30% or 60% respectively. If you fail to drop your bike off in Florida or Utah on time, I take no responsibility for that and there will be no refunds.

  • I have a lot of questions, where do I start? - Read the FAQs completely first to get some context. Then, text, email, or Facebook message me and we can set up a time to talk.

  • How many spots do you have? There are 33 spots that are being initially offered, available first come first serve.

  • Why Pitkin, Colorado? Pitkin is tough to get to, but it has access to incredible trails and single track and is very close to lodging. Just a few minutes and you’re off the pavement and on the trails!

  • Do we ride together/is there a guide? You are welcome to ride with our main group if you won’t get bored and/or can keep up. If not, you are welcome to do your own thing! The Cotrex GPS App is fantastic and free and has all of the trails marked on it.

  • Flight/Transport/Lodging/Food? - You are responsible for coordinating your flight, transport to and from Pitkin, lodging, and food. That being said, we will have a group Facebook page where you will be able to chat with other riders coming on the trip to coordinate carpools to and from the airport, ride groups, lodging, etc. I am not taking responsibility for anyone’s itinerary.

    Is there room in the truck so I don’t have to pay for a flight? - We will have room in the truck for two people (more if we take 2 trucks). If you are interested in riding in the truck to save on flights and taking some driving shifts, that can be discussed.

  • How do I sign up? Your spot is considered reserved only after I have received your signed transportation agreement which can be downloaded by clicking here, and your payment. Payment can be made through Zelle (407) 314-5596, Venmo, PayPal, cash, or check. Text, email, or Facebook message me if you have any questions and/or once you believe you’ve signed up so that I can confirm everything is in order for you.

Riding Specific FAQs:

  • What’s the riding like? - Check out my Colorado Single Track YouTube Playlist. It has a videos that I have put together of Colorado riding and other videos of trails in the area. If you don’t like single track, there is also fantastic dual sport riding on and off pavement, and on off-road jeep trails. You will not have time to get close to riding everything available!

  • Does my bike need to be street legal? OHV pass and Spark Arrestor? - Many people aren’t street legal and the authorities do not bother them. Most of us won’t have street legal bikes. You will need to purchase an OHV sticker which can be purchased here, and will need to have a spark arrestor.

  • What else can you say about riding in Colorado? - We will be at very high elevation. The bikes will make a little less power, and so will you. Physical activity at high altitude is more taxing than at sea level here in Florida.
