Appalachian ADV will be hosting guided tours and rallies! The intention is for ADV bikes but anything street legal will work (see Disclaimers below). We enjoy pushing each other’s limits during the day then sitting around a campfire at night laughing about the challenges of the ride.
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).
Fill out the survey below each ride to be among the first to be notified when tickets are available!

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 are rated EZ and cover 50, 70, and 110 miles. 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 EZ 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 Real Deal Loop with optional expert challenge areas. Tackling of the expert areas are not required to complete the EZ 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 6-10, 2021 - The PA Wilds Hardcore ADV Tour (Autumn Edition)
We will touch rubber in Moshannon, Sproul, & Susquehannock State Forests and include some gloriously ugly terrain in the best motorbiking area on the East Coast! The fall foliage should be underway, adding to the already beautiful scenery. This rally is not for the faint of heart as we will be tackling off-the-beaten-path forest two tracks, drivable trails, and unmaintained thoroughfares. The PA Wilds ride is considered moderate to expert. The plan is to start with a camp near McConnells Mill State Park, PA then we will ride to base camp in Sproul State Forest using some interesting routing! Oh yeah, we will start this ride out right! The next two days will have us on two excellent loops covering some magnificent and challenging terrain. For the final leg, we will pack up camp and ride the the long way back towards start. Participation will be capped at 15 riders, more details and sign-up information will be distributed in the very near future!
