EVENT DETAILS ARE SUBJECT TO CHANGE

Please send event updates / revisions / additions by email.

The 2012 NRR Events have been added.

 

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 (PDF) that will be available from the Ride Leader prior to each event.

Twin Valley Rally3rd Annual
TWIN VALLEY RALLY
Meadows of Dan, VA


On-line registration opens on 1 May 2012.
FROM THE 2011 EVENT (which was sold out):
"Twin Valley Rally brings you to the heart of the Central Appalachians of Southwest Virginia, and some of the sweetest roads in the country. This is undoubtedly the best riding area in the Appalachians that isn’t notoriously crowded, aggressively patrolled, and named for a fire-breathing serpent. We know the roads and it will be our pleasure to show you more sweet curves than a reptile has scales––all weekend long! Big Walker Mountain, Wolf Creek Turnpike, Route 16, Little River Road, Potts Mountain, Burkes Garden, and an unknown number of steep, tight, curvaceous roads whose names include the word Gap! We aim to provide you with an experience that will inspire you to return year after year – if not pull up stakes and move!"
