October 16-18, 2026
ZAKAR – Mojave Desert, California
Hosted by RAWHYDE Moto Adventures

The RAWHYDE Wildcard Rally is a weekend ADV gathering at ZAKAR, RAWHYDE’s Mojave Desert facility, combining adventure riding, training clinics, food, entertainment, lodging, and a Saturday night casino-style party.

Set in the heart of the Mojave Desert, the Wildcard Rally gives riders access to GPS tracks for self-guided local rides, RAWHYDE support, and optional half-day beginner and intermediate adventure motorcycle training clinics during the day. Riders can explore iconic desert terrain, improve their skills, and connect with the ADV community in a relaxed rally environment.

Saturday night brings the “Wildcard” theme to life with casino games including poker, craps, and blackjack. Riders can win chips and there will be a raffle for prizes such as motorcycle gear, apparel, and other ADV-related items. The weekend also includes chef-prepared meals, a full bar, live entertainment, aerial performances, s’mores around the fire, and plenty of time to hang out with other adventure riders.

Lodging options include private accommodation options, tent camping, and dry camping for RVs, making it easy for riders to settle in for the full weekend.

Whether you’re coming to ride, train, camp, socialize, or just enjoy a unique ADV weekend in the desert, the RAWHYDE Wildcard Rally is built to be a fun, welcoming, and memorable gathering for the adventure motorcycle community.
