South East Backcountry Discovery Route

The SEBDR is the 14th route in the BDR series of cross-state dual-sport motorcycle adventures.

Spanning approximately 1,300 miles through the diverse and stunning landscapes of the South East, the route starts at the Gulf of Mexico in Florida, travels across the Florida panhandle and winds its way through the Appalachian Mountains in Alabama, North Georgia, Tennessee, and North Carolina, before concluding in Damascus, Virginia, where it connects to the Mid-Atlantic BDR.

The SEBDR marks a significant milestone for BDR, completing the East Coast Trilogy —three interconnected eastern BDRs that create an epic route from the Gulf of Mexico to the Canadian border.

The SEBDR film will premiere on Saturday, March 1st, 2025, in Roswell, GA, with representatives from BDR, Harley-Davidson, Triumph, and other industry partners and ADV enthusiasts in attendance.
