About This Event

The Adventure Bike Gathering a suggestion that you should come to Vernon, meet other riders, and go out riding and exploring together. Some people will follow GPS tracks, others will simply venture out to see what they find. Expect very little organization, and zero pampering. You come here as an adventurer knowing that others are near. You figure out your days by talking to other people. Ride, eat, mingle, make new friends, ride some more. If you think this sounds cool, we look forward to seeing you!

The Main Event

The main 3 days of the event are riding routes that range in difficulty from D1 (Gravel) to D5 (Superbowl). Most of the routes are half days so you can come back for lunch and adjust your difficulty and commitment level accordingly. We do have a growing contingent of elite riders on big bikes (790, 890, 990, and 1290) that are getting together because they are so good that none of their buddies can ride with them, unless they are on puny dirt bikes. It's fun seeing the hard adventure club guys gathering with us, but I can't stress enough that what they do it proper cray. I hop[e they maintain their policy of turning people away unless vetted by us lesser riders. ;) For this, our 7th year, we are going to add a bunch more routes, especially options for D1 (Gravel), D2 (Messy Roads), and D3 (Intro to Nasty). Furthermore, with the support of TMA, it will be increasing easy to go out in small groups and have an easy navigation system to follow on Apple and Android phones.

We're Going Camping, and Glamping!

A bunch of us are going to stay at the Cedar Falls Campground. Locals and all. This is the new scene for the evenings. We can move between campsites, share BBQs, and visit freely.n It is quite likely that we will have the entire site. The campground is ready for our reservations, and they have offered us a $5 / day discount - just use the code AdventureBike2024.
Space is limited. Book this and be part of something new, and we think kinda special.
