The Palmetto ADV Rally is the rally that kicks off adventure riding in the Palmetto State every year and is usually held in April. It’s a gathering that brings adventure and dual sport riders together from across the country on all makes and models of bikes. The Palmetto ADV Rally has routes that traverse the South Carolina Adventure Route in the Low Country around the ACE Basin and Francis Marion National Forest. Its organizer is Cheyenne Ledyard and the Palmetto ADV Rally has a great Facebook page for more information.

The Blue Ridge Mountain ADV Rally takes place from September 19th to the 21st up in Pickens, South Carolina. This rally rides parts of the SCAR in the Upstate region and is a great opportunity for riders to see the northern part of the state and the route.
