This is the second of the BDR-X routes developed by the Backcountry Discovery Route community. It is designed as a 500 mile loop allowing riders to start at any point and return there. Vehicles can be left at the starting point and be there waiting for you at the end at the end. The route is a spur off the last 2 sections of the MABDR then extends to the west into the Pa Wilds area. 

Similar to the MABDR, the Pa Wilds route is primarily made up of gravel and forest roads with similar degree of difficulty as the MA. There are also several “expert” sections along the route if riders would like a bit more of a challenge. The route is made up of 4 sections extending from Wellsboro to St. Mary’s, from St. Mary’s to State College. From State College to New Columbia and then returning to Wellsboro. 

We will add some added interesting stop overs over the course of the ride including the Elk Country in Benezette, Hyner View and Colton Point State Park overlooks.

NEBDR®    Crossing more state lines and covering more mileage than any other BDR makes the NEBDR one of the most diverse routes in the BDR series. Every state delivers a unique experience unto itself and while sections can be done over an extended weekend, riders who commit to the entire 1,400-mile route will truly feel as though they had an adventure of a lifetime.

The tour begins in Hancock, NY and remains in the Empire state for the next three days before moving into Massachusetts and Connecticut. We will move further north into Vermont where we will see the bulk of the optional, and challenging, Class IV roads. We then cross into New Hampshire, Maine and we finish back into New Hampshire at the Canadian border.

Southeast Backcountry Discovery Route and Chattahoocee BDR-X

: Number of Riding Days: 12

: Dates: October 5-16, 2025 (meetup in Navarre Beach on October 4th)

Start: Navarre Beach, FL

Finish: Damascus, VA

The Southeast Backcountry Discovery Route (SEBDR) is the 14th BDR produced by the non-profit organization. It begins in the Florida Panhandle at Navarre Beach and continues north through Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, North Carolina and finishes at the start of the Mid Atlantic BDR in Damascus, Va.

The Chattahoochee BDR-X was introduced in the fall of 2024. It is designed as a 350 mile loop allowing riders to start at any point and return there. Vehicles can be left at the starting point and be there waiting for you at the end at the end. The route is a spur off the SEBDR beginning at the town of Ellijay, GA.. The plan is to ride part of the south end of the SEBDR then join up with the “Hoochee”. We would take 3 days to ride this route then rejoin the SEBDR.

We are planning on a total of 12 riding days for the 2 routes. Note: If you have a desire to just ride the Chattahoochee BDR X, contact me at emmausmoto@gmaiI.com and I can discuss the options with you.
