Published on 01.29.2024

The trailer for the Northern California Backcountry Discovery Route (CABDR – North) documentary film has been released and it is sure to get your adventure juices going! The CABDR-North represents the organization’s thirteenth route for adventure and dual-sport motorcycle travel, with free GPS tracks, travel resources, and BDR Motorcycle Map scheduled to accompany the film’s debut this February. 

The expedition film features members of the BDR team and special guests from both BMW Motorrad USA and Zero Motorcycles as they take a first run on the all-new route, immersing themselves in Northern California’s captivating blend of landscapes, terrain and history.

Starting in Mammoth Lakes, CA atop Minaret Vista, the 940-mile route traverses the Great Sierra Nevada Range’s conifer forests, mountain meadows, and gentle slopes, concluding in the high desert of the Modoc Plateau just north of Alturas, CA at the Oregon border. Riders enjoy blissful forested two-tracks, tackle rugged canyon and mountain roads, and ascend peaks to fire lookouts with unparalleled, 360-degree views.

Highlights of the route include quaint towns nestled in the High Sierra’s folds, with their historic inns dating back to the 1880s. Beyond the thrill of the twisty roads and scenic vistas, riders can delve into California history, discover relics of mining towns, and witness geological wonders. The route caters to riders of varying skill levels and offers optional challenging sections, plus three expert segments.

With a 70/30 dirt to pavement ratio, off-road fans will have plenty of tracks to take on but the BDR says the pavement sections shine too with the best peg scraping twisties in the state. And in case you were wondering, the route has virtually no sand, unless you want to challenge your skills on the many optional advanced sections.

“This route, born of countless scouting trips over the last five years, captures the essence of a remote and beautiful Northern California, one that may be difficult for the casual tourist to comprehend.  But we found it!” – Ron West, CABDR-North Route Architect & BDR Board Member  

Route Release & Film Tour

The Official Film Premiere of the CABDR-North documentary will be on Saturday, February 17th at 5:00 pm PST at the Sofia Performing Arts Center (Sutter Theatre) in Sacramento, CA, featuring representatives from BDR, BMW Motorrad USA, Zero Motorcycles and select industry partners and journalists.
