Rally & Tour  Schedule

Guided Tours, Rallies, Group Rides, and Clinics with a friends & family feel that stretch from beginner to expert, allow people to test their mettle, and learn their limits so they can push past them. Our goal is to build a team sport feel into all of our events. A group of riders in the woods cheering, dragging, and high five-ing each other through some minor trauma! 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 form new friendships! Appalachian ADV loves being a part of the Adventure and Dual Sport Community and our goal is to build our own little community within that community. We love to see familiar faces coming out to all of our events and also our friends' events that we support.

    ​A new Backcountry Discovery Route's initiative created to honor and celebrate U.S. military veterans who ride.

    The program was inspired by BDR Ambassadors and volunteers who are veterans themselves. Having experienced firsthand the healing power of BDR adventures, they wanted to create a dedicated community within BDR where fellow veterans can connect, share stories, and continue the sense of camaraderie that service life builds.

    This program is about more than riding. It’s about connection, support, and rediscovering the joy that comes from exploring new terrain together. Whether you’ve been riding adventure bikes for years or are just beginning to transition from street to dirt, this community welcomes you. The BDR Veterans Program is your place to find others who understand where you’ve been and share your passion for where the road, or trail, leads next.
