I've ridden from Paradise to Inskip to catch the Humbug Summit Rd over to Lake Alamanor a few times - both before and after the Dixie Fire. Terrible devastation through the Plumas NF.
I'm relatively new to dirt riding, I'd rate my skill level as novice. My first BDR was CABDR South actually, I really loved it, and I was able to finish it just fine. Oh yes, I did it in a dual sport. Having said so, I'm not getting too excited at the prospect of this one after watching this video, but hopefully the expert sections can make up for it. Anyway thank you for making these routes! CABDR South was lovely
The NorCal route will definitely appeal to a wider audience of riders and the expert sections are amazing!!! There's so much natural beauty, cute remote small towns, and local history on the NorCal route! It's going to be an awesome route!
@@jgruen9854 The CABDR-N is still a work in progress which isn't yet available to ride. It's going to be a really great route once it's finished though! It'll be worth the wait!
You're going to spend some time in Siskiyou and Humboldt, right? I'm getting my first bike late this winter (hoping for a deal) and after a couple months of practice I'd love to do some exploring. I live in the far north, the true NorCal, and the redwoods are my favorite place in the world. But Mt. Shasta and Castle Crags are both unbelievably beautiful landmarks so big that you can enjoy them for an hour or more without stopping.
IMO...I think we can all appreciate the tie-in to electric bikes - A few questions I'm sure we all have...we saw one charging station - how long did you ride, how long to charge etc. A bike like that on the WYBDR and some others...no options for charging. Just curious - I'm sure others have tons of questions...thanks for what you do!!!
We actually rode for a few days and would get a full charge over night and top it off during the day, ideally at a charger close to a restaurant or little grocery store for food. Worked out better than I had anticipated but CA has been at the forefront of EV infrastructure, so at present other states may be a challenge, but that's all changing and changing fast! Riding an electric bike is really a completely different visceral experience that I completely enjoyed. Without a clutch or gears you can really concentrate on the trail, or the scenery, take your pick!
@@ronwest90277 thank you for responding...and would agree on the EV infrastructure and sustainability charge...no pun intended..ha!....look forward to more...thanks again!!!
Have to be honest, pretty disappointed that this was more a Zero commercial than a route commercial. Cant wait to ride this route, but I'll be doing it on a fuel burner. Electric has its place but unfortunately, I don't think long range adventure riding is it.
Would definitely be interested in a EV but traveling in Northern Canada unfortunately it is not practical at this time. If we lived in California, a totally different story.
Looks like a blast, and checking for electric motorcycle options is another way to help future-proof this and make it available to even more riders who might otherwise be more limited
I got to test ride the Zero DSRX at Barber in October. This video is exactly what was running through my head. Awesome ways to make electric accessible on adv routes. It is doable, just takes planning. 👍
Only hand tools are practical to be electric because you always have a spare battery charging. Electric transportation is not practical and will be very dangerous. A fad that will go out with Brandon
I can't wait to ride it!
Been waiting for a Nor Cal route! Stoked!
This will be in my backyard. No electric bike for me though.
Looking forward to this one!
Can't wait for the norcal route.
I know that red coffee shop. Awesome location can’t wait to ride it!!
Looking forward to the new BDR , thanks for sharing.
Looking forward to this route!
Thanks for sharing. Awesome
Looking forward to this
Should use the Modoc, Shasta Trinity, six Rivers BDR. The Dixie fire ruined the plumes national forest.

@@nathanfant any spots near Sacramento/ San Francisco area that I could checkout before the route is released?

Oo man!! I gotta get me either a T7 or Tuareg to start heading off-road.

Looks like you passed through Graegle…I love that place! How many days/miles will the route be?
BDR = off road interstates, where every trail intersection is an off ramp to more adventure.
It would be great if there was a place to put a BDR in the southeast US😢
Any updates on this? The links buy the route maps are broken.
The route was released on the 17th.
🔥

How big bike friendly?
When is this route coming on line?

It will be in the future. Battery tech just needs to hurry and catch up.

ThanKS…! Im not interested in an electric adventure bike.
California, electric bikes? No thanks.
This.
Then don't, no one is telling you you have to.

Well, "Brandon" will be around longer than The Orange Clown, at least
Not practical *yet.* Everyday, electric vehicles are the worst they ever will be.
