TRIP SUMMARY
I’ll bet you’ve dreamt of riding a Backcountry Discovery Route but just weren’t sure if it was right for you, your skills, or your bike. Don’t you just want to enjoy riding off-pavement without trying to prove something? Well, we have a ADV ride for you!
Join us on the Oregon “Easy” BDR (Backcountry Discovery Route). This event begins with an Adventure Bike Rider Course to prepare you with the basic riding skills needed in the backcountry.
We have designed this route for beginners and big bikes. You can enjoy the backcountry with the comfort of knowing you will not end up in a deep sand trap or a crazy steep hill climb. We’ll cover parts of sections 5 to 7 of the Oregon BDR. Along the way, we take scenic asphalt to avoid the most challenging parts.
Saturday night we will camp near Detroit Lake. You have the option of camping with us Thursday and Friday (before and after training) as well. Sunday, we will wrap up the day with a late lunch. Then you can head home or continue the adventure!
