Ride and Talk - #84 Backcountry Discovery Routes – Exploring the USA on an Adventure Motorcycle!
Anyone who visits the USA will quickly come to realize how big the country is, and how challenging it can be to choose where to go and what to see. This is especially true for those who wish to ride an adventure motorcycle and go beyond where the pavement ends. To help solve this problem, a group of motorcycle enthusiasts founded the Backcountry Discovery Routes, a non-profit organization dedicated to charting and maintaining routes so adventure and dual-sport riders can explore and enjoy the country. Recently my producer Louise Powers and I sat down with BDR Board President Tim James and BDR Ambassador Wendy Naessens, who helped us understand the origins, offerings and a glimpse into the future of the Backcountry Discovery Routes.
