Adventure Palooza 2021

Moto events around the nation are springing up at this time of year, enticing us to hop on bikes and get out there. Adventure Palooza 2021 has just opened registration for a Midwest event running September 24-26.

Adventure Palooza 2021, as it states on their website, will “test your ability [to] navigate your adventure bike, usher you through amazing areas of [Missouri], challenge you to complete checkpoints along the way, and end in camping, food, fellowship, and live music!” Riders can expect about 500 miles in total, but you can intersect the trail at various points if you can’t make the whole weekend.

Last year, Adventure Palooza donated $2,000 to the Wounded Warriors Project and two college scholarships. This year, there will be two $1,000 scholarships awarded to high school or first-year college students.

It’s a little tricky to navigate their website as some of the writing is hard to see, but they seem like a fun bunch of folks willing to help you out with any questions.

Happy rallying!
