About the Rally

Information you will need to compete in the Moto ADV Rally

This is a point of interest scavenger hunt with over 100 places to look for.

Embark on the ultimate Motorcycle Rally, a dynamic team event that pushes the boundaries of exploration and camaraderie. This rally is not bound by predetermined routes; instead, teams armed with adventure bikes and dual-sport machines navigate the diverse landscapes of San Diego, CA, in a scavenger hunt-style adventure.

Equipped with a map and a clue book, teams decipher hints that lead them to discover hidden Points of Interest (POIs) scattered throughout the region. These POIs could range from stunning natural landmarks to historical sites or local gems, adding an element of surprise and excitement to the journey. The lack of determined routes allows for a truly spontaneous and personalized adventure, ensuring each team’s experience is unique.

As teams crisscross mountains and deserts, the rally becomes a test of both navigational skills and adaptability. Riders must choose their own paths, making strategic decisions based on the clues provided. The flexibility of the adventure bikes and dual-sport machines ensures they can tackle various terrains, from rocky trails to sandy dunes.

The Moto ADV Rally’s scavenger hunt format fosters teamwork as participants collaborate to uncover the mysteries hidden within San Diego’s landscapes. Whether it’s conquering challenging trails, solving riddles, or discovering hidden gems, this rally is a celebration of the spirit of exploration and the thrill of the unknown. Get ready to embark on an unpredictable journey where each turn brings a new adventure.
