We are booked with the Tree Cabins at Rivers Bend just like in 2026, however we'll also have the use of the Stevenson Community Center in Junction as our base of operations. We'll have more parking and seating at the Stevenson Center.

We're going to have exciting classes and guest presenters! GPS navigation by Dan Bryant, a tire clinic with The Knobby Shop, Stop the Bleed with Texas Trauma and LifeSaver Training, a presentation by BDR Ambassador Mark Plank, and more!

What to expect:

The course will be big bike friendly and beginner friendly. The dirt sections will be typical Hill Country dirt roads, mostly class 1 and 2 with numerous low water crossings. You should be comfortable riding off-pavement and ready for two long days in the saddle. We will be riding public paved and unpaved roads – there is no off-road or single-track riding. This is not a race or a timed event, but it will be fun for veteran riders and rookies alike!

Organization:

We will divide into small riding groups (Ideally 6 or fewer). Recruit some friends and create your own group, or show up at the riders meeting Thursday and we will help groups get together. You will meet people and make new friends!

Preparation:

Your bike should be in good working order and have at least a 130 mile fuel range. You should have all the necessary tools with you to repair a flat (the single most common problem during an adventure ride) or handle typical problems with your particular motorcycle. Please don't rely on others to have the tools and parts to fix your bike in the event it breaks.

Gear:

Everyone participating is operating at their own risk, and expected to wear full safety gear: Helmets, motorcycle jackets/pants, boots, gloves etc. at a minimum. Hydration packs are also encouraged.

Navigation & Communication:

GPX files will be provided. This event is a self-guided tour. You should be familiar with navigation via GPS devices/apps. If you are not, we can pair you with other riders who are. Comms units are encouraged. Most riders will use Sena or Cardo.

TICKETS:

Early Bird tickets are limited to the first 50 riders and will cost $99.00.

Regular registration cost is $115.00.

You will get a custom Texas ADV Rally 2027 T-shirt and sticker(s).

Registration fees cover event attendance, a shirt, stickers, GPS tracks, and group dinner Saturday evening (including soft drinks).

Tickets will go on sale 1/1/27! Please RSVP for updates!

***Early registration closes April 1st 2027. If you register after April 1st you are not guaranteed a t-shirt. There are no refunds for tickets canceled after April 1st.***

Lodging Options: (All are nearby the Stevenson Community Center)

Tree Cabins at Rivers Bend: You must call or text Irma for reservations. Do not use their website to book. You will book at the wrong property: Call or text Irma at (325) 446-5545 to book your cabin or campsite.

These will book up quickly, but Irma owns multiple properties in the area and can set you up at another nearby site once the main site fills.

Rates vary by cabin size, campsite, or RV spot (on another of her nearby properties).
