Master Event
Schedule

 

Opportunities for the best...Saddle up and come on along!
All brands welcome!

Participation in all Nittany Road Rider events is open to all prior and future customers of Kissell Motorsports (all brands) and their guests (with their own bike or as a passenger). Participation in all local Nittany Road Riders events is free of charge (and at your own risk).

NRR events are organized by various Volunteer Coordinators for both FUN and SAFETY. Depending on the number of bikes that participate and rider interest, we try to have two groups on each ride: Sport Riders & Cruisers, one of which should provide a comfortable pace for all riders. In all cases, each rider should drive at their own pace. Please review the NRR RIDING POLICIES. Each rider and passenger must sign the Release Form that will be available from the Ride Leader prior to each event.
