Better Than The BDR Tour

We love the Arizona BDR! In fact, we love Backcountry Discovery Routes, their mission, and their vision. If it wasn't for them, our sport would not be growing at the speed it is today. So thank you BDR!

Sadly, some of the funnest and more challenging routes in the great state of Arizona did not make the BDR cut. You can't fit it all in right?!  So here's our vision on how to improve the BDR: more off-road, more technical sections and more expert line options! Less riding the road just to get to the next fun section. 

2025 Dates:

May 24th - 27thay 24th - 27th

November 5th - 8th

This is tour is for Intermediate riders to pack the best off road that Southern Arizona has to offer in a 3 day, 4 night tour that is guaranteed to leave you wanting nothing. We base out of Tucson Arizona and run the best roads within a days ride, ending at the same hotel each evening. This gives us some huge advantages:

1. No carrying extra gear since we'll be back at the same hotel each evening. We can ride light!
2. We're not in a hurry to get to the next site. We can take our time, re-ride sections as we choose, and include impromptu practice sessions.
3. Have you had the food in Tucson?  Tucson is one of the countries great gastronomy cites. I hope you like Mexican!

What's Included
The tour is $3240 per rider for all-inclusive, double occupancy at the hotel.  You get guided ride support, shared lodging and meals. Each day’s ride starts the day with breakfast provided by the hotel (yes it's a real breakfast, not a danish and yogurt). We will stop for lunch at small local restaurants along our route, ranging from sit down to gas station delicacies. Dinner will be sit down at one of Wilcox's local eateries.

What's Not Included

Single Occupancy rooms are available for an addition $450. Gas, trail snacks, and drinks are the responsibility of the riders. Dinner on Sunday is not provided.

The Plan

Meet up at the hotel on the first evening. Check in, meet for a debrief over dinner and get to know your new friends. Next morning starts the adventure! We'll ride loops each day leaving from the same hotel, so you don't have to carry any extra weight that you'd like to leave behind in your room. Our rides will be mostly off-road and considered above a beginner skill level.

Our rides do not have a support vehicle immediately available. In the event of accidents or equipment failures, we will do our best to support you in getting your bike back on the road to the best of our ability. Need a bike? We do not have bikes available to rent, but our working with a rental company out of Phoenix Arizona that can arrange to have a bike available to you. Just let us know you need their contact information at the time of booking.
