AZBDR - Two Noobs, Two Mules, Two Weeks Off...
Travis Gill posted a topic in 4 Days & Longer Trip Write-Ups and Photos
The Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route. Feeling excited but also a bit nervous. I feel we've put the due diligence in getting prepared to include mapping and documenting the adventure. It's only been a year of riding for us, but we've trained and practiced to ensure we both have the skills needed to complete the trail. It's the largest off-road motorcycle trip we've planned. Our 'rough' plan is to cover the route in 9 days: Sat, Apr 23: Leave Casa Grande, ride to start the trail to Sonora. Sun, Apr 24: Senora to Benson Mon, Apr 25: Benson to Mammoth Tue, Apr 26: Mammoth to Globe Wed, Apr 27: Globe to Young Thu, Apr 28: Young to Flagstaff Fri, Apr 29: Flagstaff to Cameron Sat, Apr 30: Cameron to Marble Canyon Sun, May 1: Marble Canyon to Utah Side-trips to Tombstone, Sedona, and the Wave. Any others worth seeing? I just made room on the iPhone and GoPro for lots of pictures and videos. Stay tuned... Cheers, Travis and Chantil -
UTBDR: So many rides, so little time off...
Dan Diego posted a topic in Informal Local Rides & Who's Going Riding!
So my next big ride was going to be the UTBDR (http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/UTBDR)...until I saw they finished the NMBDR (http://www.backcountrydiscoveryroutes.com/NMBDR). That's on my short-short list. But then a friend gave me the Butler UTBDR map and it has me drooling and reconsidering. What a ride! Crosses into Wyoming, of all places. And, while I was planning and salivating and dreaming, he sends me greetings from this place: http://www.3stephideaway.com/index.php. He stopped by en route to elsewhere. Dammit, this "work" stuff is getting in the way of my riding! -
