The unfortunate reality of wildfire season is upon us and there are important reminders to keep in mind:

While we do our best to post Route Updates for significant fire bypasses or closures, the rapidly-changing conditions of wildfires make it nearly impossible to track.
Before and during your ride, there are important things you must do to ensure your safety and adherence to closures:
- Always check for Route Updates and download the latest GPS track file just before you go. Note, recommended bypasses are not always included in the track file.
- Reference the official BDR Interactive Map wildfire layers to see current activity HERE
- Use other wildfire apps and websites to cross-reference data, such as WatchDuty HERE
- Join the official Facebook Group Page for the route you intend to ride and monitor throughout your trip. This is a great way to get up to date reports and share intel.
- Email us at [email protected] or report a route update on the mobile website to help us track any changes.
- Check local jurisdictions for campfire regulations and bans. Please consider not having any campfires.
- Always respect closures and adhere to detours. Wildfires are a tragic event for local residents. Be respectful of locals and allow the hard-working fire crews to do their job: stay out of their way.

March 5th, 2025

A new version of the NEBDR tracks is available for download labeled NEBDR-March2025.

This file contains a few minor updates and revisions to the tracks since the August2024 versions which included:
- NE5 ALT Harder – Pepper Road has been added to replace the previous Hart Hollow ALT Harder track as these segments were inverted.
- A new optional EXT track has been added in section 8 to Diamond Ridge overlook. This is a 13 mi out and back to a great viewpoint.
- Given the indefinite closure of East Inlet Road at the previous end of the route, the adjusted ending goes directly to the Canada border.
See attached screenshots for reference.
A brand new version of the official NEBDR map is in print and will be available soon HERE
