About the event

DOWN And BACK 2025
Welcome to the 4th annual D&B Adventure ride!! A Free event with a no limit sign up thanks to our sponsors💥🙏
Every year is a different theme and set of routes, sometimes different states. Last year we enjoyed ourselves in southern Ohio getting some of the best hospitality a rider could ask for on the SOAL. Years before we have based in SE part of Indiana on the SEIL. We are back in Indiana for 2025 teaming up with ADV cornerstone George Fehrenbacher🤘creator of the SET and laying down some of the best gravel, scenic views, mud, and unmaintained backroads Southern Indiana has to offer.

Come ready to ride and get kickstands up EARLY for 2-3 full days of ADV riding💪
(some are riding Friday also) These are all public challenging roads with creek crossings incorporated.
(2)160+mi routes and (1)200+mi route The GPX tracks will be posted a week before the event (6/2) with waypoints for fuel, food stops, park shelter, Hindostan waterfall, and other places of interest.
Im sure some photos and more details of the routes will post up here as pre ride happens. We will also have a few drones and photographers capturing the ride at
select locations….also back at camp for a
2025 D&B video🤩🎬

In the past we have had over 120 riders attend and its expected to be an even larger crowd this year! ⛺️Paynetown Campground is a picture perfect spot to base camp with space and all amenities to offer. Get your site asap and join the FUN as they do fill up quick in the summer. Its always a great time loading up a campground with new and old friends surrounded by fantastic bikes.
They still have some sites available…link at the bottom. Pics of sites are availability when you click site #on map. ⛺️

This wouldn’t be possible if it wasn’t for our sponsors that step up to the plate every year helping provide a great event. Riders First Motorcycle Training have been holding down a strong moto community doing BIG things in Indiana….they also provide us with some awesome ride shirts and decals at every event!!! Check them out for all levels of training and endorsements at any age. They have 10 LOCATIONS👊 and qualified instructors to get Indiana on 2 and 3 wheels💥

Proud to have MotoXtremesMX on board with us this year and really throwing in for our Raffle providing some great gifts and moto goodies😎 a ton of shirts,gear, and apparel to give away. Mike Ivers is a dedicated rider and a driven businessman keeping the community alive in our tri states. Finding my moto needs here or ordering parts is a fantastic experience every time. Stop by!🔥they offer plenty of in store shopping. Follow them on FB for GREAT deals and current store info. They are located in West Harrison IN🫡

Southern Eyes Trail is a super good resource for riders to enjoy. Countless hours have been put into this route for us and very pleased to work with George Fehrenbacher on creating 2025D&B.
Hats off to him for all his hard work on the SET and for the ADV world. If you see him out there give his bike a pat on the fender for his efforts!!🧡

DREYER Motorsports is joining us for another year! A set of ♨️MotoZ tires♨️
will be raffled off to a lucky rider by our friends in Indianapolis. Founded in “83” and still upholding a store that makes the customer a priority. Purchasing my new DRZ here was a great choice. Also offering pre owned inventory, parts, accessories,and a very experienced service department❗️
