ADV rides and rallies that stretch from beginner to expert, allow people to test their mettle, and learn their limits so they can push past them. Let Appalachian ADV lead you through the beautiful wilderness, help challenge your riding abilities, and laugh about our failures around the campfire. From these experiences we want to help you grow into better riders and stewards of nature!
The goal is to have different styles of group rides throughout the year: the classic rally (The Fools Ride on April Fools Ride and The Wilds of Wayne), guided tour style (Allegheny Backcountry Adventure Loop), and the hybrid (PA Wilds Hardcore ADV Tour).

2021 ADV Schedule
April 9-11, 2021 - The Fools Ride on April Fools Ride
A great way to knock off the winter cobwebs! A few of Appalachian ADV’s local loops, near Brush Creek in Eastern Ohio. Each loop encompasses 50-100+ miles of two-lane county pavers, off the beaten path gravel roads, “No Maintenance” dirt lanes, and plenty expert challenge areas.
A total of 5 routes are available from 50 to 100+ miles covering some amazing twisty pavement, gravel forest roads, unmaintained dirt, and optional expert challenge areas. Three of the routes cover 50, 70, and 110 miles of ADV riding. These will be available to load to your GPS for self-guided/self-paced rides, MOTO-RECON will also be providing amazing paper maps of the EZ routes. Kane will lead a group on the 50 mile route on Friday late afternoon where we will have a chance to hit one of the challenge spots (test your mettle). Saturday will be a group lead ride on the ADV Dual Sporting moderate rated 100+ mile Brush Creek Daytripper Loop with optional expert challenge areas. Tackling of the expert areas are not required to complete the ADV loops or the Saturday moderate loop. Sunday Funday is the group lead expert only ADV Dual Sporting 50 mile Hardcore Encore Loop! Be ready for big bike deadlifting! Mandatory hard stuff on this one!
The routes are intended for and graded based on ADV bikes. Dual Sport bikes are welcome and will have a much easier time on the courses. Camp will be set up on 80+ acres of private land with a 50x80 powered outbuilding and plenty of places for rustic or pop-up camping. Breakfast and dinner will be provided on Saturday. All other meals should be planned by rally participants. A lunch stop is built into the Saturday ride and there are several places to pick up food near base camp and along the routes.

October 7-10, 2021 - Autumn Edition
ONLY 15 SLOTS ARE AVAILABLE and they are First-Come-First-Serve!
The PA Wilds Hardcore ADV Tour is a moderate to expert-level guided tour of the best ADV Dual Sporting routes in western and central Pennsylvania including terrain in Sproul, Susquehannock, and Moshannon State Forests. The PAWHAT is intended to be a hybrid ride, mashing aspects of a Rally and a Guided Tour. We offer the ability to meet us in Parker, Pennsylvania on Thursday morning for an excellent ADV Dual Sporting route that will take us to our base camp in Sproul State Forest (more info below on accommodations). We will run two different loops from base camp on Friday and Saturday. On Sunday we will offer another ADV Dual Sporting ride back towards Parker for anyone interested.
A majority of the riding will be gravel and dirt Forest Service and Fire Roads with beautiful vantage points and minimal pavement. The ride will also include maintained and unmaintained Jeep Trails, a few bushwhacking trails peppered in, as well as normally gated forest access roads. Not only does the amazing autumn foliage add to the experience but the USFS also opens many of the gated roads to allow access deeper into the woods this time of year. Many of these gated roads are minimally maintained, offer excellent riding along with views of rarely seen terrain, and include pass-through as well as dead-end tracks. We will ride different loops on Friday and Saturday and include all aspects mentioned above. The Thursday and Sunday rides will include everything mentioned above except any dead-end access roads. By-passes are not set up on the routes and participants will be required to take the moderate to expert rated sections to complete the course.
Accommodations for this year's event will be at The Black Forest Inn, our favorite Inn and Restaurant in the northern PA Wilds. Rooms at the Inn will be double occupancy (bring a buddy!) and the Restaurant offers great sustenance and spirits every evening. The price of admission will cover lodging as well as fully planned routing and guiding services. Lunch breaks and gas stops are built into each day. Participants are responsible for their own gas, meals, hydration, and any incidentals on the courses.
If intending to trailer to The Black Forest Inn: get there early, unload your bike, then meet us on the route. You can unload the rest when we get back! Want to trailer and ride with us from Parker? We can accommodate that too...
Email Kane@AppalachianADV.com for any questions! More information will be provided to PAWHAT participants closer to the event as well.
