Improve Your ADV Skills with Tom Asher at Riding the Driftless Rally!

Ready to take your adventure riding to the next level? The BMW Riders Association is excited to welcome Tom Asher back to lead off-road training sessions at the 2026 Riding the Driftless Rally in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin.

A highly respected instructor and former Team USA GS Trophy competitor, Tom brings real-world experience and a practical coaching style that helps riders build confidence and control both on and off the pavement.

Through the Tom Asher Adventure Rider Academy (TAARA), riders will have the opportunity to participate in hands-on training sessions during the rally. These clinics focus on practical techniques you can apply immediately—whether you’re planning your next backcountry adventure or simply want to feel more comfortable handling your bike on gravel and dirt.

Cost: $123 per session — a fantastic opportunity to learn from one of the best instructors in the ADV riding community.

Four classes: 4 full hours of ADV Fundamentals and/or ADV intermediate training
