WE COMPLETED THE NEW OREGON BDR! | The 750 Mile Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route (ORBDR)

We completed the NEW Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route (ORBDR)! We started in Section 1 in the Alvord Desert and finished in Section 7 which ends in Hood River. It took us 9 days and nights.

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.

Thanks everyone for watching! Hope you enjoyed the video! If anyone has any questions about the #orbdr we are happy to answer!

[DorkintheRoad]

Holy crap! Hey guys! We passed each other like 3 times ;)

[mtnessler]

Nice job on the video. Love the fact that Chloe isn't the usual terrified teenager of anything buggy. Loved the fact she brings her bug book with her! And, of course, Goose stole the show! New subscribers. Glad we found you!

Great video, I like all the drone footage. You passed us at the base of Beatys Butte. Then we caught up with you again at heart Mountain ranger station. It was a great BDR. #ADVwithRoscoe

If you camp on the Alvord Desert, try to plan on a night with a new moon. I have had the best view of the Milky Way from the Alvord Desert. Much of Central and Eastern Orgon have great dark sky areas. So many find section 1 in the high desert boring. I live and explore the high desert and find slowing down and getting out of the rig to explore the canyons, creeks, and hill side to have much to see. Smell the sagebrush, pine trees, watch for wild horses, pronghorn, deer, Elk. One thing I ask of all that drive the Oregon BDR is to respect those of us that have homes along the route. We live in the section from Bend to Sisters. The gravel road past my home is good and people bomb through at 30 to 50 mph. They do not think about the dust they generate that speeds to our homes. Also watch for people and pets walking on the road. So many close calls over the years. With the BDR traffic has increased and made our lives less enjoyable.

Awesome job on the video, John!! Been back for less than a week, and I’m already ready to sleep on dirt again. Watching this doesn’t help 😂

[budnixon]

thanks for sharing!
great vid fellas!

[woundedtiger]

Thanks for sharing. You've shown me a another way that I can get out since my crash on my motorcycle. I thought I was done. Maybe not. 😊

[VentureRoam]

Hey great edit you guys. I enjoyed watching this!

[bobbymiller]

Great video, if i could make one small suggestion your music comes on too loud, had to keep turning volume up and down, no offence by any means, thank you for the video I am making plans to do these routes👍

[deannaohair]

Well, I think it’s way cool and I can’t wait to do it

[stevej]

Nice video! Makes me want to go down and do the Oregon BDR and I still haven't finished the Washington BDR (the state I live in), soon though. My daughter will finish getting her RN in a few weeks and then I will have a lot of free time for my dog and I to hit some trails.

Great video @CascadiaOverland. I recently purchased a new rig, how bad was the pin-stripping??? I'm not sure I'm ready for this new rig to get battle-scars! Haha!!

[Overland]

You think you have enough filler shots? Any shots of the ACTUAL route?

[swooshdave]

So at no point was it too narrow for the overlanding vehicles considering it was designed for motorcycles?

[Overland]

You aren’t dirty at all. You showered every single night

[Overland]

Yeah, I just don’t believe you at all. Almost positive that you staged this entire video 😂
