Episode 020: Two Days on the Idaho BDR

Two Days on the Idaho BDR

My first two days on the Idaho BDR were amazing.  Forest fires may have changed our start plans but could not sour the beautiful, Idaho backdrop.

Middle Fork of the Boise River 

The most memorable part of the entire ride came on the second day.  I found myself standing on a nameless bridge that stretched across the Middle Fork of the Boise River.  Surrounded by mountains & overwhelmed by the sound of the river, I was alone.

Riding the Idaho BDR was more than adventure.  It was meant to be an escape from technology, and the everyday grind.  Mission accomplished!  The remote nature of this ride afforded numerous opportunities to disconnect from technology and reconnect with myself.

To learn more about the Idaho BDR, make sure to check out the ride BDR website.  Here, you  can get a ton of information about this adventure (including gps tracks).   I used this website to scout the route, purchase maps and research every facet of the ride!
