The Fools Ride — Apr. 23-26, 2026

Enjoy the ride, the sights, the odd roadside attractions and small town charms.

Published on 01.23.2026

A great way to knock off the winter cobwebs! Head out and enjoy the hilly Northeast Ohio River Valley, with its many tributaries, picturesque and unique views, and all the fine Ohio ADV & “ADV Dual Sporting.”  

Enjoy the ride, the sights, the odd roadside attractions and small town charms while being challenged by Appalachian ADV’s local loops, near Richmond, Ohio. Each loop encompasses 50-150 miles of two-lane county pavers, off the beaten path gravel roads, “No Maintenance” dirt lanes, forgotten county roads, and plenty expert challenge areas. 

There are twisty pavement routes, basic ADV routes, as well as intermediate-level and expert-level dual sporting routes. Group ride sign-up will be available upon check-in at the event. The expert challenge areas are optional on the Intermediate courses.

New for the 6th Annual Fools… more pit bike shenanigans! Bring your pit bike—Trail 125s, Monkeys, or Groms. Organizers are working on adding more Little Bike fun to our Foolishness.

Run with a crowd of Little Bikes through all of the terrain Fools Ride has to offer, as well as a few special “Little But Just As Foolish” loops. Marsh of the Appalachian ADV Inner Circle and The Monkey Boys will be working hard to help build up the Fools’ Little Bikes.

Fools Base Camp will be set up on more than 80 acres of private land just outside Richmond, Ohio. A powered outbuilding is set up as The Fools Meeting Barn and there is plenty of space for tents and campers. They’ll also have demo bikes from Point View Cycle KTM.
