Join us for the next BDR Fundraiser Ride Weekend on April 20-23, 2023 in Elephant Butte, NM. Hailed as a “Diamond in the Desert,” it lies directly on the NMBDR, on the largest lake in New Mexico.
THE DETAILS
BDR IS COMING TO NEW MEXICO!
As always, expect great daily rides for all skill levels in the Sierra Cuchillo foothills of the Black Range and in higher elevation climates, including one of the best sections of the NMBDR. Riders are encouraged to take advantage of the location and experience more of this lesser-appreciated BDR before or after the weekend.
The event will also feature evening presentations and round table discussions with the BDR team and special guests.
Whether you are a long time BDR supporter, new to the BDR, an industry professional or an ADV enthusiast, come ride with us in this special place in New Mexico, and don’t miss the biggest BDR party of the year! Leave the hustle and bustle of the business world behind, come get a taste of Southwestern hospitality while you ride, relax, and spend quality time with old friends and new.
Event proceeds will support the mission of the BDR non-profit organization of creating and preserving off-highway riding opportunities for adventure and dual-sport motorcycles.
The event is limited to 90 riders. Book soon to guarantee lodging and event availability.
