  • The Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route (ORBDR) is the 12th route developed by the BDR organization for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel.

    About The Route and Film:
    The Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route (ORBDR) is a 750-mile, multi-day off-pavement ride designed for adventure and dual-sport motorcycles. Starting in the high deserts of the southeast and exploring north through ancient pine forests and into the rugged mountains of the Cascade Range, challenges include lava rocks, silt, sand, and arduous mountain roads. From sagebrush steppe and hot springs, to caverns and glaciated volcanoes, riders are guided into remote territories that reveal many of the state’s natural wonders, providing prime sightseeing and recreational opportunities. With stunning views throughout and terrain that is certain to test your riding skills and endurance, the ORBDR is one of the best ways to discover the backcountry of Oregon.
    About Backcountry Discovery Routes:
    Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®) is a non-profit organization that creates off-highway routes for dual-sport and adventure motorcycle travel. We have introduced a new route with free GPS tracks for the community every year since 2010.
    Routes can be downloaded from our website at www.ridebdr.com
    Our work includes rider education, safety campaigns and promoting responsible travel for motorcyclists traveling in the backcountry.
    Our volunteer-powered organization works with agencies and land managers to keep trails and remote roads open for motorcycling.
    Each route generates new tourism that delivers sustainable economic relief to less-advantaged rural communities. This creates local stakeholders who will help fight to keep access for dual-sport and adventure motorcycles in these incredible backcountry areas.

The camera crew rides with these guys in front stop film them coming, get back on the bike ride, catch up and do it allover again while organizing footage at the end of each day. Note again, the film crew rides, not all drive. Have a nice day.

    Oregon is a beautiful State. I live in Northern California, but two of my daughters went to college in Oregon. My wife and I have been all over the State following our daughters as they played collegiate volleyball. We have also vacationed along the Oregon coast. I hope to ride the ORBDR someday. It will be my first choice of BDRs. That was a great video.
