*Urgent Update* Severe weather has caused major destruction on the NEBDR
As Vermont continues to recover from the recent flood damage and the road systems are being assessed and repaired, BDR is recommending that all riders download the latest track version labeled “NEBDR-October2023“.
With these new updated tracks, riders can remain on the main route tracks to avoid riding the more difficult class 4 roads, which are now separated in the gps tracks as “ALT Harder” tracks. The class 4 roads in these sections have been heavily damaged – blind washouts, exposed culverts, heavy mud, and sudden drop offs are ever present danger to riders. These roads, for the most part, are unmaintained by local governments and rely on local snowmobile and ATV organizations for help in the repair process.
While some of the main route tracks may have sustained damage as well, keeping to the suggested route will minimize strain on both emergency services and repair crews. This act of courtesy is vital to maintaining a healthy relationship between recreationalists and the local populations/governments. Spending money at the small businesses along the way of our routes is at the foundation of the BDR mission – and now more critical than ever in these areas. Please show your support and always remember to Ride Respectfully so that we remain welcome in these communities.
Stay safe, and as always, be sure to check here for more updates.
