I'm Norm Kern, and I'd like to welcome you to
Motorcycle Sport Touring Association's
largest regional rally, which comes to Marietta, Ohio
Monday, August 19 - Sunday, August 25
Look over the Event Guide to see all the fun things we have planned, and if you have any questions, feel free to EMAIL or CALL me any time.
Every day is a riding day, with social time in the evenings. Most attendees arrive on Thursday, ride for 2 days and go home on Sunday. Saturday is the biggest riding day, so even if you only come for the weekend, you'll have a great day of riding with lots of fun folks. If you have time to attend Monday-Wednesday, you will experience a relaxed, small rally atmosphere where it's very easy to meet and make new friends.
Everyone will be out riding the twisty roads of Southeast Ohio and West Virginia. You can choose one of the official routes, create your own, go sightseeing or whatever strikes your fancy. The EZ Route Selector offers nine convenient categories to help you choose from the over thirty GPS routes in the FlyBy Week collection.
Attendees mostly ride in small groups of riders with similar preferences, so everyone gets to ride the way they like. Our friends from the Facebook group Adventure Riders Ohio are planning to do guided ADV rides all week. Details to come.

Comments: The Section 5 Great Ohio Adventure Trail (GOAT) Loop is a 149-mile easy ADV route located Northwest of Marietta and is part of the collection of day rides found on and around the GOAT. It uses forest service roads, township roads and chip & seal pavement to showcase some of the best adventure riding in Ohio. Food & Fuel options are located in Mcconnelsville and Beverly, Ohio. The loop includes Ohio Miners’ Memorial, home of the Big Muskie Bucket.
The GOAT is a scenic ride for adventure motorcycles and overland vehicles that uses dirt, gravel, and paved roads to travel through remote parts of Ohio, passing through small towns, state parks and all 3 units of Wayne National Forest. This 1,100-mile route primarily uses forest roads and rural country byways to lead riders through the western Appalachian plateau, state forests and reclaimed land. It was created by routemaster Brad McFadden. The mission of the GOAT is to promote tourism and responsible outdoor recreation throughout Ohio’s Appalachian Region. https://www.facebook.com/groups/216925004358535
