2026 Event Schedule
Rides4Fun plans great street and adventure rides across the Eastern United States, plus off-the bike experiences, so you don't have to. Join us at one or several of our Weekend Getaways / AMA Gypsy Tours, sponsored by BMW MOA. Motorcyclists of all brands are welcome, and no membership is required to attend our events.
Event Perks:
All event locations are at state parks/resorts and offer a wide variety of lodging options from tent camping to resort lodge rooms. Once you're off of your bike for the day, there's plenty of amenities within walking distance to enjoy.
In addition to the five street routes and one adventure route option from Rides4Fun, event supporter Backroads of Appalachia will be on hand to offer guests additional route programming in the region.
