Mission

Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®) is a 501c(3) non-profit organization that creates off-highway routes for adventure and dual-sport motorcycle travel. The organization’s work includes promoting rider education and safety campaigns, driving a positive economic impact to rural communities, and encouraging responsible motorcycle travel in the backcountry. Through the careful investment of funds and working with land managers and other public benefit organizations, BDR seeks to keep remote roads open for motorcycling for generations to come. Since 2010, BDR has been providing free “turn-key” backcountry motorcycling itineraries to the community. These resources now include GPS tracks, digital maps, trip planning & rider resources, route condition updates, YouTube videos, Facebook Group pages, and Q&As, all available 24/7 on www.RideBDR.com. BDR publishes a high-quality waterproof motorcycle map for each route that’s packed with information, and produces feature-length expedition documentary films that can be streamed for free on Youtube.com/ RideBDR.
