Carrie Barton
Carrie Barton details her 10-day dual sport ride on the Tour of Idaho.
Imagine a 10 day, 1500-mile ride dominated by single track. Now imagine having to navigate the entire way without missing a beat. Better yet, picture yourself not really knowing what is going to be in store.
This is precisely the situation Carrie found herself in, August of 2019 when she became the first woman to officially complete the Tour of Idaho (TOI).
She had an idea of what to expect. But Idaho threw everything at her and her riding partners.
Tons of amazing single track. Long, grueling days. Scorching heat & chilling cold.
Water crossings. Incidents with bear spray. Critical navigation.
But what drove Carrie to take on such a big challenge? How long did it take her to prepare for the TOI and would she do it again? You’ll have to listen to catch all of the details.

Anna Baklund
The first time Anna Baklund sat on the back of a motorcycle, she was hooked. Nowadays, Anna is an avid off-road, dual sport, and adventure motorcyclist (she snow bikes too)!
Passionate about the sport; Anna is a strong advocate for responsible riding. Like many of us, she has seen some disturbing behavior pop up on social media over the years. We get into this and the role social media is playing not only in our lives but our pursuit for adventure.
Are favorite riding areas and landmarks being overrun? Are land managers equipped to handle more visitors to riding areas that social media is popularizing?
Tune in to hear her thoughts.
This is a great episode for those listeners looking to get into the sport of motorcycling. Anna does an amazing job of detailing how she got started, how to be a more responsible rider, and where social media fits in with all of this.

LAB2V
The 35th annual LAB2V (LA Barstow to Vegas) ride was held this past November in Southern California. Garrett Ortiz from ADVLITE joined the podcast this week to talk about his experience on the ride.
Deep Sand on LA BARSTOW TO VEGAS
Want to ride LAB2V in 2019? Garrett dropped some advice for us on the episode–ride some deep sand! Deep and long sand washes are quite common on the route. If you haven’t had the opportunity to ride sand, now would be the time to get in a little bit of practice or instruction from Bend Motorcycle Adventures.

Lone Rider offers an amazing collection of adventure motorcycle tents and motorcycle adventure bags. PC: Blake DragueskuWe’ve often covered the topic of tents through both blog posts and podcasts.

Idaho BDR Tips

IDAHO BDR TIPS
We hope these Idaho BDR tips make your ride more enjoyable!
TIP #1
Don’t be afraid to deviate from the main route.
Idaho is special. Capturing all of its glory in one ride, on one route, impossible. However, you can add other points of interest to your ride.
Don’t be afraid to go off-route to chase down fire lookouts, waterfalls, whatever.
Better accommodations can also be found by adding a few miles to the end of any day.
TIP #2
Prepare for all weather conditions.
This isn’t Colorado. You won’t be ascending 12000′ peaks. In fact, you won’t even clear 9,000 feet.
That doesn’t mean you the weather won’t get the best of you, though. In 2019, our first 4 days were littered with heavy rain. Temps were in the low 40s.
How did we combat this?
Good gear. Gore-Tex riding jackets and pants. Warm gloves. Layers.
You may be blessed with excellent conditions but in the event you aren’t, you’ll be thankful you prepared.
TIP #3
Good tires make for a good time.
50/50 adventure bike tires won’t cut it. Unless of course, its dry.
You’ll find that roads in the lower portion of the Idaho Backcountry Discovery Route don’t have a lot of rock in them. Heavy precipitation can make for slick or muddy conditions.
Our recommendation?
Try the Goldentyre GT723 tires. We’ve ridden the route on a KTM 500 and on a KTM 790 Adventure R with these adventure tires & they work great!
TIP #4
Navigate with GPS tracks.
The tracks are free from the RIDE BDR site and they’re flawless.
Use the Idaho BDR map as a supplement.
TIP #5
Utilize lodging.
Camping is fun but there are some great places to stay along the route. More importantly, spending our money in small towns will ensure businesses stay open in these remote areas.

- Visit the Florence cemetery
- The Baum Shelter in Warren has great food

National Hare and Hound
The National Hare and Hound series has long offered some of the best off-road motorcycle racing on the west coast. After interviewing series director, Jacob Michna, we quickly learned that 2019 would be no exception.
National Hare and Hound Info
Participants can expect “True American Off-Road” racing along with diverse venues and terrain. Typical courses consist of 1-3 long loops and the race ultimately ends up being between 80-100 miles. Love to ride single track? Each round has plenty of that, according to Jacob. In fact, many of the races contain fresh-cut trails and re-opened tracks.
Jacob also took some time to talk about bike set-up and recommended the following:
- Bib mousses over tubes to mitigate flats
- Oversize gas tank for long, sandy loops
- Kenda Parker tires
On the Next Podcast:
We sit down with our friends from the AMA West Hare Scrambles to discuss the 2019 series, venues, and tips for first time attendees.
