SLAY THE SERPENTS – RIDE CHALLENGE
***Length Notice:
We recommend allowing a minimum of two days to comfortably complete the challenge, but you are free to complete it at your own pace. When booking, please select the time you plan to check in or pick up your rental motorcycle.
Monday–Wednesday check-ins are available after 5:00 PM only.
Some roads are legendary.
This challenge proves you rode them.
Slay the Serpents is a self-guided ride challenge featuring the Copperhead Loop, the Tail of the Dragon, and The Rattler (Hwy 209). It’s not a race and it’s not timed — it’s about completing iconic mountain roads riders travel across the country to experience.

And the shirt? You don’t buy it. You earn it.
THE REWARD
✔ Complete the challenge while renting one of our motorcycles → T-shirt included
✔ Complete the challenge on your own motorcycle → T-shirt $10
Either way, the shirt represents something real: you rode the roads and finished the challenge.
WHY RENT ONE OF OUR MOTORCYCLES?
Our bikes are set up for mountain riding and maintained so you can focus on the experience, not the logistics. For fly-in riders or anyone wanting a seamless adventure, renting makes the challenge even better — and the reward that much sweeter.
HOW IT WORKS
Ride the designated routes, capture the required photos, and verify completion through a public post using the provided challenge instructions.

IMPORTANT BOOKING INFORMATION
Booking the Slay the Serpent's Ride Challenge experience does not automatically reserve a motorcycle.
If you are renting a motorcycle from Engineered 4 Adventure:
- A separate motorcycle reservation is required. Challenge instructions, verification details, and route information will be provided at the time of motorcycle check-in.
If you are using your own motorcycle:
- You must schedule a check-in time with us to visit our shop. Your first required photo will be taken at that time, and all challenge instructions will be provided during your visit.
This ensures every participant receives the correct materials and a verified start to the challenge.
