Great! Although I got excited that you are going to be the first taker. If I don't get much traction on Wyoming I might go back to my original plan of hitting the AZ BDR next spring or fall instead.
I had to look that up as I never heard of it, especially the one here in AZ. Looks like a great time and you'll have to let me know if you're out this way. We'll see a little of WY on this trip but we're hoping to do another next year and cover more along with Yellowstone.
Might as well leave them both for a while until everyone gets use to the new section.
I really like what I've seen/read of the AZ one and I have a buddy in AZ willing to meet for that one but the organizers say that the WY is some of the most isolated country they have on any of the routes. That is super appealing to me but at the same time having dug for dinosaurs for a job for a few years in Montana, I also know that is not solo road trip country out there.
What part of AZ is it? I watched the video on your link and it looks like there's some pretty desolate areas out there. Looks fun though and makes me wish I still rode motorcycles. That'll keep you in shape!
It runs north to south from border near Bisbee all the way to Globe.
I'm on the other side of the valley but that's a great area over there. We went down to Bisbee and Tombstone a few years back and if you do get down here I'd recommend checking those areas out. I had more fun in Tombstone as it's an old western town and they have replicated gun fights and people walking around in older cloths from that era. Bisbee was just ok but I don't care for antiques and all that artsy fartsy stuff but if you do it's loaded with shops like that.
The organization that plans them are adventure bike riders and do it with that purpose in mind but all of the routes are on public access roads and open to any vehicles that can handle them. Depending on the state and the section, some of the roads aren't really roads and more of a two-track trail. Not really off-roading for a 4x4, but gets you into the remote areas.
