Backroads of Appalachia! - Reasons to Ride Partner
Have you downloaded our Backroads of Appalachia Mobile Application yet sponsored by the United States Department of Agriculture? With over 4500 miles of “Appalachian Awesomeness” across the Central Appalachian Region we do not have just one state to ride and enjoy in our mobile application, we have 4 states and growing and our app is completely free!! How is all of that free for everyone to enjoy you ask? Well that answer is simple and what makes us here at the Whitley County Motorcycle Group and BOA different then anything else out there.
Backroads of Appalachia is a Non-Profit organization funded by state operating budget, federal grant, and private donation but the most important part of our organization is that we are truly Community based. From our volunteers who work hard on what we do here everyday on each project and event, to our media and publication partners, to our welcome centers, which provide a second chance for those in addiction recovery, to you the rider, everyone is part of who we are and what we do here. When you come here to ride here the money you spend in these small towns across Appalachia and the input you provide us on our trail routes and offerings helps us continue to improve what we have for all others that come here to enjoy. This community based effort is helping our region prosper again after years of lack of industry and economy. We are truly “Patches with a Purpose” here at the Whitley County Motorcycle Group, the Motorcycle side of Backroads of Appalachia, and all are welcome to join us and be part of our mission. We have everything you are looking for as a rider right here in Central Appalachia covering multiple states including KY, WV, VA, and TN and it’s all GPS-Enabled!
From Pavement to Adventure Touring to Off-Road all in an easy to use application built by riders for riders. Join our WCMG public Facebook group today to stay up to date on “All things Motorcycle” here in Appalachia or catch one of our Backroads of Appalachia Live! Shows each week every Wednesday at 6:30PM. You can also find our motorcycle events in our Backroads of Appalachia Mobile Application Calendar, on our group page, on our website by visiting www. backroadsofappalachia.org/events, and also by visiting our media partner at www.cyclefish.com.
So what are you waiting for? Become part of something bigger and come see us right here on the Backroads of Appalachia this year and discover what other riders who have visited us here already know, there is simply no better riding anywhere in the U.S.! All without the traffic, overdevelopment, and high cost of travel. Have you taken “The Road Less Traveled”?
