Adventure Palooza 2023 - North Route

We traveled to Mexico, Missouri on September 20, 2023 to
participate in Adventure Palooza 2023. This was our fourth
year participating in this event. If you are interested in
adventure riding, we recommend you check out the
Adventure Riders LLC, who host the event annually (link will
be posted in the comments).


This year we decided to sign up for the North route, so we
could see a part of Missouri we had not been in very much. We
traveled up a couple of days early and stayed in Keokuk, IA, so we could explore some
of the areas near the start of the route. We hauled the bikes
up to Mexico, MO, which is the end of the ride. Once at Mexico, we
got the bikes unloaded and the luggage on the bikes and headed to Keokuk, IA. We hit some light rain showers
on the way to Keokuk but nothing very heavy.

We spent the rest of September 20 and 21 exploring Keokuk.
It's a very interesting town with lots of history. If you ever get a chance to visit, be sure to allow some time to visit the museums in the area.

The morning
of Friday, September 22, brought the official start of the ride and we headed over to Athens, MO to pick up the beginning
of the route. We ended day 1 at Kirksville, MO. There was
heavy rain and storms forecast each night, so we opted
to stay in hotels this year instead of camping. The morning
of Saturday, September 23, brought rain heavy clouds and
rain throughout the area. We were lucky enough to miss
the severe weather, but did detour a few times to miss
some heavier cells. We arrived at the farm in Mexico, MO late
afternoon and visited with our fellow adventure riders.

We ended the evening with a great meal and live
music. During the awards and raffles, we found out
that we were actually the second place team for the
North Route. Hope to see everyone again in 2024. ‪@adventureridersllc1153‬
