Due to the Federal laws regarding leading rides from an event people pay to attend, a separate permit is required for every National Forest the ride will traverse through. Therefore Ridge Runner Adventures, David Corl, or Drew Corl will NOT be leading any rides from March Moto Madness.

My vision of developing a Southern Appalachian Discovery Route is almost completed. Since my first GS Giant event in July 2011, I've been on a mission developing adventure routes through the Southern Appalachians. This summer will be spent documenting all the sections I've not already ridden.
The Route is 5,473 miles and is broken down into 35 sections of 100-200 miles a day between campsites.
All the campsites are National Park, National Forest Service, State Parks and 2 Motorcycle Only Campgrounds. This can be run in weekend or week long sections. Exploring ways to publish to maps. Any Cartographers out there?

Planning ahead for March Moto Madness. Finished routes for Friday & Saturdays Big Bike Easy ADV Rides.
Friday 115 miles @ 5 hours ride time. Saturday 104 miles @ 4 hours ride time. Our rides in the past have been very popular and have become almost unmanageable due to the number of participants so this year we will limit the group size to 20 riders broken into two groups. In addition I will offer the Tracks to any who want to self guide. To register or get a copy of the tracks PM me with your email address.

This past year I retired from the "working world" and I now have time to devote to Ridge Runner Adventures and try to make a few $'s to enhance my meager SSI check.
To those of you who have ridden on tours and routes I've put together please send me a review of your experiences for potential customers to review.
Thanks for your help.

It's been awhile since posting any new content. No excuse - just traveling and working. Since last post I've traveled to Big Bend and 2x to Colorado. All awesome trips with many photos to share later.
Right now I'm focused on mapping routes for March Moto Madness. "Are Ya In or out?"

Time to Ride!

A few Years back as I began my journey of Adventure Riding I competed in the qualifiers for a very special event put on by BMW Motorrad, the GS Trophy. I've been a fan ever since.

The GS Trophy 2016 began Saturday. Here's the Highlights from Day 1..... and after watching this, I think I'm going to try and qualify again in 2017
