Attempting the Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route (WYBDR) in 5 DAYS!

[@100GoochJG]

From the UK but we love Wyoming - The WYBDR is definately on my bucket list !! Great Video !!

[@MatthewPost81]

So fun to watch. A group of us completed the BDR in August 2023. I was pretty impressed with the Scrambler.

[@RedEAg]

Nice! Gets to be an addiction and want to do the next one

[@mikethompson2007]

We were about a month to 6 weeks behind you last year. We rode it in September. Had to pass on bridger mtn. A loop first day as it was hailing, water was running down the road and it was greasy. But the other A loops were noticeably quiet, Deep creek, Kenady peak and the woodchuck pass were all ridden. Lots of other bikers on the trail but apparently they like to get to the brewery's by 2pm... You passed up great camping on the shore of Alcova reservoir to camp out there on cow pie flats! That probably is the 2nd worse place to be in a rainstorm on that trip. I can't believe the guy on the KTM 500 slabbed that from Billings to Baggs, but once you got in the tough stuff , you were all probably wishing for that bike. Great video, headed to watch part 2, I want to see how the guy on the 790 handles the start of woodchuck pass!

Thanks for the comment!

Virtually all of the videos I have seen regarding the WYBDR illustrate how challenging this route is, especially when wet/muddy. Well done!

[@RedEAg]

despite video not doing it justice enough. Looks smooth and grand, but in reality sudden peril can be lurking anywhere from a sudden washout or rock or... just miscalculation. And the hard part is capturing it on video; hard to have it on all the time. thanks for commenting!

[@gilvietor1918]

If it is raining it is really hard going, great job guys!

[@rawhideadventures9515]

Wow, that's quite an adventure. I have some friends who went to Colorado last year with their ATVs and rode the Continental Divide. I'm anxious to see the rest of your journey. Red E rocks...!

[@RedEAg]

Nice! Thanks and glad you like the variety with this add. Trying to do Tuesday videos that are fun and projects while the end of the week video release is more inline with the biz. -Matt

[@craigsturman6661]

We did this BDR this summer. (Late July) Had an absolute blast!

[@RedEAg]

nice! it is a blast. we are strategizing the next one already

[@davejessee7173]

Finally a farm channel that rides adv bikes. We are planning to do Wyoming this summer

[@RedEAg]

Sweet! Oregon is on our list this summer. 🤘🏻 Be safe and make it a great adventure.

[@timbuhler2012]

We did the WYBDR in 5 days and didn't really feel like we pushed hard at all. The longest day was Beaver rim to Atlantic City. I felt it was pretty relentless. The other long days were mostly easy so a long day, but not hard riding. Especially the day coming into Ten Sleep. We did quite a few miles, but most were 80 mph+ roads.

[@RedEAg]

good feedback. Did you choose any expert routes along the way? that definitely makes a difference

[@MatthewPost81]

agreed. section 4 was brutal. never ending sand and ruts. my big GS1200 was a lot to handle on that.

[@mikethompson2007]

@@timbuhler2012 you are pegging my bs meter...you may have done the wyoming continental divide route with some sections at 80 mph but you didn't ride the bdr at 80...there was some decent county roads, and highway you could do at 80 but that like 15% of the trip...

[@Desert2snowoffwego]

I was waiting to see the Carnage of coming down the sandtrap in the Shirley mountains! Disappointment, one bike going down through without incident. I'll bet the others weren't quite as lucky. Section 4, Beaver Rim, is no joke-- I'm surprised you guys decided to take that on in the same day that you exerted yourself going through the Shirley's.

[@RedEAg]

They ran hard for sure. As you can imagine not every spill is captured on camera. Wait til the next episode drops... Bigger spills and some scary moments.

[@c0ck_l2oach75]

Well done. Great content. Thanks

[@billjames3148]

Nice trip. Thru my backyard, So which rider had the least trouble ?

[@RedEAg]

The two riders Chuck and Stewart who raced previously in their careers had 0 wipeouts. Skill and Experience and great bikes. The rest of us just take a few more spills but keep getting back up.

[@MeerkatADV]

Trying to travel faster as a group can be a chore. The route is 880 miles by the way. I really enjoyed it, though I felt the Nevada BDR was far more remote.

[@RedEAg]

This year is the Oregon BDR as our next one ;)

[@cuatropines9176]

What time of year did you do this ride? Great footage!

[@stevenwarner7348]

Egg Zack T Lee. What I dream about. Instant fan/subscriber from New Hampshire. Yep ~ Out on the trail with friends under the big sky.🌟(now droooooling over that Suzuki 1050 V-Strom DX. ). Yep, Egg Zack T Lee. ~ My dreams to become reality. Sooooooon. Keep the your "peeps" together for this trip or any trip really and you'll have a You Tube "thing." Yea, I could see that. Course there are "dangers." Talk about safety. At least your viewers wouldn't be anxious. Wow. Oh yea. EggZackTLee ! ✨🌸🙏🌸✨

[@RedEAg]

Thanks!

[@charlesr9110]

Hiw was the gearing on the ducati? Guess it was a little high for a bdr?

[@RedEAg]

Yeah it seems like it, not my bike of choice but it got the job done. -Matt

[@jessefaul832]

Great video! Which adventure bike did you think was the best for the trip?

[@RedEAg]

what was that one that Stuart was on? he made it look easy!

[@JohnnyPowRides]

the motorcycle you need is the DR650 - cmon people

[@BWYinYang]

I'll stick with ATV or Side by Side. 🤔

[@peterburnham1169]

Please do not run loud exhaust on these trails. It is not necessary and makes us unwanted. One of those bikes has a modified exhaust

[@RedEAg]

Sure, not sure which, maybe the Ducati? I don't think anyone changed their exhaust after they bought their bikes.

[@ultrarnr4454]

Not trying to demean but I think those large bikes are to big for your experience level. I think you would of had a better time on smaller bikes, plus why have such large bikes and be in second of third gear tops 90% of the time? I wouldn't take my Tiger on something like that, but I sure would enjoy taking my Verys 300.

[@RedEAg]

That is an interesting point. The BDR is a lot of road riding and unless you go on the technical route like we did then the bigger bikes are fine. Fine on the technical too for advanced riders. 2 pro riders were on that ride and never spilled once. 1 guy is experienced but had a foot injury and is shorter so that is why he spilled when he was in a dip. The other three ride but not as much and some have borrowed bikes. Making it all work with what we got ;)

[@Tinroofdeals]

Ducati Scrambler with straight pipes 🥴

[@RedEAg]

Let it rip!

[@donewhiskey]

Sounds so good
