We are officially 11 days away from our epic Moab getaway, and the anticipation is building in the best possible way. This is the kind of trip that reminds us why we love adventure travel, big landscapes, capable rigs, great people, and stories that only get better around the campfire each night. Before we roll west, I wanted to share a few reminders and give everyone a quick look at what the week is going to feel like.

We kick this tour off in Oxford MS and if you’ve never spent time here, you’re in for a treat. Oxford isn’t just a starting point, it’s an experience. Classic brick buildings wrap around The Square, front porches stretch wide under big Southern skies, and the hospitality is as smooth as fresh pavement on a backroad curve.

If you’ve been craving a ride that blends adventure, challenge, scenery, and small-town charm into one unforgettable loop… this is it. The Creeks, Curves & Back Roads Ride delivers over 350 miles of pure North Georgia exploration. This isn’t a highway tour. It’s a deep dive into the heart of the mountains, flowing gravel, rugged two-track, hidden ribbons of pavement, and forest roads that feel like they were built just for you and your machine.

It always starts the same way: a cup of coffee gone cold, a kitchen table slowly disappearing under maps, notes, and an inner dialog that included, “What if we went this way instead?” Before the engine fires and the side stand comes up, the ride has already begun.

If you ride a sport-touring bike, chances are you don’t measure rides in minutes, you measure them in fuel stops, state lines, and how many more miles you have to do tomorrow. We put real miles on our machines, and that means chain maintenance isn’t optional, it’s just part of the rhythm of riding.
