“How much pavement is there?”

After a decade of hosting ADV rallies and creating routes like the Bluegrass Regional Adventure Passageway (BRAP), it's the question I get asked more than any other—and one of the hardest to answer. Are riders asking about tires, difficulty, comfort, legality, or whether they're about to have the best ride of their life?

In this short episode, I break down the many meanings hidden behind this seemingly simple question, explore the different types of riders asking it, and explain why pavement percentage might be one of the least useful ways to judge an adventure route. Along the way, we'll have some fun with one of ADV riding's most common—and most misunderstood—questions.
