CA BDR - SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BACKCOUNTRY DISCOVERY ROUTE

In November 2019 we spent 5 days riding the entire Southern California Backcountry Discovery Route and had a great time. The scenery is stunning and the weather was perfect.

We started in Yuma, AZ and rode all the way up to Benton, CA.

This video covers the entire route. Let us know in the comments if you'd like a bit longer version with more details and tips for the route.

The bikes are:
• BMW R1200 GS
• Ducati Multistrada 950
• Husqvarna 701 Enduro
• KTM 1190 Adventure R
• KTM 1290 Super Adventure R

Checkout the BDR website for more details and to download the GPS tracks:

Was everybody jealous of the 701 in the sand? Lol

Well done. They guy on the Husky has the right bike for this trail. I hope to finish it at end of 2020. Cheers.

Holy crap, someone actually took a Multistrada (that they own) off-road! Beautiful footage, and nice edits. The guy on the Husky was definitely happiest with his choice of bike for this. All that sand looks gnarly.

Man, wow I heard there is a LOT of sand on the SoCal BDR....they were right! I'm not ready for that much sand I dont think. Dang. Well done guys, great video.

When the going gets tough the big bikes, are a handful and wear you out, light is right!!

So great to see a Multistrada in the mix. Badass video. Looks like you guys had a great time

Man, those sand monsters were relentlessly pulling riders down. Thanks for taking us along for the ride.

After doing the CABDR in 2021, watching your video is bringing back memories... trials and tribulation, but at end of the day, I was fun, great memories.

Nice footage! I'll be finishing this bdr tomorrow. I'm watching your video from my Hotel in Bishop.

[arubuto]

nice to see a fellow multistrada rider also using it in the terrain it was intended for!

[hwobstj]

Great video! I’d definitely take my 701 over my 1200GS on that route.

[HawaiianArmy]

Amazing video, thanks for sharing. I need to get my skill level up some more so i can ride this route.

[billpacheco]

Great video and really good job on the editing!

[FanOWater]

Very nice video! A friend and I did some of this late November 2019 and snow kept us from getting over Cerro Gordo pass. Beautiful scenery though. Can't wait to get back and finish it.
