It turns out these breakdowns are a regular thing, we experienced them daily.The adventure motorcycling non-profit, Backcountry Discovery Routes® (BDR®), has just released the trailer for their upcoming Oregon Backcountry Discovery Route (ORBDR) documentary film. In the end, we couldn’t get the nut to break free, but we got it on tight enough to shift gears. Unfortunately, we didn’t bring a breaker bar and socket needed to get the nut off, so we left our friend behind and rode into the hardware store. My friend’s bike had a problem with the sprocket, the spindle was coming out of the engine and he was losing all of his gears. We brought a variety of tools and changed quite a few flat tires along the trail. It was a nice break to go catch a fish and not ride all day every day. Just follow the red line and smile.Īside from the essentials, I brought a fishing pole. Although the maps would come and go based on cell connection, or pre-downloading map cells, the red line was always constant. It was amazing we downloaded the trail and it highlighted the map with a red line to follow. I was able to try out my new favorite app MotionX. Some spots were overgrown and near missing, some were closed off only to find them open on the other side of the berm. This trail could not have been found without one. If we veered off by mistake, there was far too much stopping to find the trail. Sometimes it’s a long run without stopping, provided we are finding and staying on the trail. Wearing a Camelbak while riding is crucial, especially when you don’t know when your riding buddies are going to stop again. We put electrolyte pills in the ones we wore because you sweat all day and have to replenish the salt and potassium. It keeps you cool and slowly melts while you drink. On the third day we decided to put ice in the bags too. We each wore a 100oz Camelbak plus a spare 100oz strapped to our luggage and never passed up an opportunity to top off with clean water. Most importantly of all, we carried lots of water. My boots were my second enemy the soles were literally coming off at the heels and I had to duct-tape them at every stop. I had to constantly apply sunblock and Chapstick throughout the day. Lots of socks and underwear were very important. I kept a light shirt under it all, long sleeves to protect from the sun. A couple pairs of clothes aside from just riding gear was nice, as well as some sandals or old shoes that could be packed tight. I went with KLM pants, some old motocross boots, a chest and shoulder protector, elbow pads, gloves, and a dirt bike helmet with goggles. Lunch was anything we could snack on quickly, like fruit bars, granola bars, and packaged tuna. Breakfast was instant oatmeal and dried berries. A few MREs, some ramen, and a couple cans of soup that I never ate and totally regretted bringing because they were so heavy. We planned meals for 7days of back country which could only be cooked with boiling water. To give you a little idea of the packing, we basically had just essentials.
