CAMP WYOMING BDR
CAMP WYOMING BDR RIDE - JULY 12-19
WHAT AND WHEN
Join us for CAMP Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route (BDR) Ride, on July 12-19 - seven days of riding off road and motocamping along the rugged terrain of Wyoming.
The Wyoming Backcountry Discovery Route is a multi-day off-pavement ride for dual-sport and adventure motorcycles through the most dramatic and rugged landscapes in Wyoming. Beginning in Baggs, WY, the route traces the mountain ranges to the east through the Sierra Madre and Medicine Bow Ranges, crosses west to the Wind River Range, then goes back east and north through the Bighorn Mountains, eventually ending at a remote Wyoming-Montana border. Almost every section includes some moderately technical riding, as the remote two-track flows through regions of vast high-desert, short-grass prairies, and alpine climates. You will experience expansive views from the summit of two different 11,000-foot mountains, cross two major rim escarpments and pass through many other seldom visited areas and historic mining towns. This is the most remote BDR, so plan ahead and be prepared to have a true backcountry adventure.
This ride requires skills, appropriate tires (fifty/fifty recommended) and an appropriate motorcycle (adventure, dual sport). It definitely isn't a route you should try if this is your first foray into off-roading.
We will send every attendants plenty of information, the GPX files and everything you need to know about the ride.
WHAT’S THE PLAN?
The plan is to ride the eight sections of the Wyoming BDR, South/North. We will get togeter in the evening of July 12, starting the route in the morning of July 13. We will be camping every night in a different place.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST AND HOW DO I BOOK?
This event costs $300 per rider. This includes seven nights of camping, plus a rider book with plenty of information about the ride and a group t shirt.
If you have a CAMP 2025 Dual Sport Ride Pass, just let us know you are coming. You don’t have a S’more pass, buy you are interested in it? Find out more and get yours here.
Please note: CAMP S’mores and rides are open to members only. If you are not a member please add your membership to your cart before you pay for your S’more. Your S’more reservation will not be completed unless you are a member.
WHAT BIKE SHOULD YOU RIDE ON A BDR RIDE?
You must bring a dual sport/adventure motorcycle for this ride. The choice of tires is up to you, but we recommend 50/50 tires (i.e. designed for 50% off road use and 50% paved use). You won’t need them all the time, but when you need them, you will be very happy to have them.
You would like to join but don’t have a suitable motorcycle? Become a CAMP Plus member, and you get 4 days of motorcycle rental included in your membership.
South East Minnesota Adventure Trail Ride
CAMP SOUTH EAST MINNESOTA ADVENTURE TRAIL RIDE, JULY 18-20, 2025
WHAT, WHEN & WHERE
Join us for a two day motocamping ride of the South East Minnesota Adventure Trail, also known as SEMAT, on July 18-20.
The SEMAT is a 435 mile loop ride through the bluffs of SE Minnesota. Mainly consisting of gravel and minimum maintenance road (similar to the TWAT in this), it can be completed in a couple of days, and this is exactly what we are planning on doing.
This route is ideal both for those who are just dipping their toes into off roading, and for those with more experience. This is the perfect shakedown to test your skills and your gear before you join us for our BDR rides.
A riders pack with a day to day itinerary, GPX tracks, essential information and more will be sent to all participants.
WHAT’S THE PLAN?
We will be camping 2 nights, in the same location, at a commercial campground right on the SEMAT, near Rochester, MN. After meeting on Friday night, July 18, we will ride half of the loop on Saturday, going back to camp for the night. Sunday, we will pack our gear and finish the second half of the loop, and we will then go to our respective homes.
You can leave your gear at camp on Saturday, but you will be carrying it on your motorcycle on Sunday. There is no support vehicle.
WHAT BIKE SHOULD YOU RIDE?
You must bring a dual sport/adventure motorcycle for this ride. All motorcycles need to be street legal. The choice of tires is up to you, but all I can tell you is that off road tires are a cheap insurance against falls. Personally I recommend 50/50 tires (i.e. designed for 50% off road use and 50% paved use). You won’t need them all the time, but when you need them, you will be very happy to have them.
HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
The ride costs $100 per rider. This fee includes your camping fees, GPX files; info pack with day to day itinerary and information. If you have a CAMP 2025 Dual Sport Ride Pass, just let us know you are coming. You don’t have a S’more pass, buy you are interested in it? Find out more and get yours here.
Please note that this ride is open to CAMP members only. Not a member? Just add your membership at check out and you are good to go.

This ride requires a lot of skills, appropriate tires (fifty/fifty recommended) and an appropriate motorcycle (adventure, dual sport). It definitely isn't a route you should try if this is your first foray into off-roading.
