Adirondacks BDR-X Launches at Americade with Triumph as Sponsor

The Adirondacks BDR-X is a new 700-mile loop from Backcountry Discovery Routes that takes riders through Adirondack Park, which is the largest publicly protected area in the contiguous United States at 6 million acres. Triumph served as a presenting sponsor during the new route’s launch as part of an ongoing partnership. Backcountry Discover Routes is a nonprofit that creates off-pavement riding opportunities throughout the country. Its BDR-X series features shorter routes designed to be ridden over a long weekend. The Adirondacks BDR-X is the 10th route in the series. The route premiered at the Americade Rally in Lake George, New York, on May 28. The launch included a full-length expedition documentary that showcased the BDR team and local route experts exploring and documenting the development and riding conditions of the route. The documentary also featured three Triumph models: the Tiger 1200 Rally Explorer, the Tiger 900 Rally Pro, and the Scrambler 1200 XE. The documentary is now available on the BDR YouTube channel and below. The Adirondacks BDR-X features a variety of road surfaces. About 50% of the route is pavement, including some twisty roads through forested lands. Other surfaces include lightly maintained seasonal roads and rocky, sandy, or muddy pathways. Much of the route flows through valleys alongside rivers and lakes. The route is designed to be approachable for most levels of adventure riders. Following the route’s launch at Americade, riders now have access to free GPS tracks, digital maps, FAQs, and travel resources, and the official waterproof BDR map is available for purchase for $16.95. All of these resources can be found on the BDR website. The post Adirondacks BDR-X Launches at Americade with Triumph as Sponsor appeared first on Rider Magazine.
