It’s the Journey, Not the Destination
They say "It's The Journey, Not The Destination." Well, in 2021, Chad Warner embarked on the journey of a lifetime and became the first person to complete all 10 BDRs in less than a year. Chad's epic BDR ride spanned 21,394 miles, with over 111 days spent on BDR routes. Prior to departing, Chad invited friends and strangers to join his ride; 22 people took him up on the offer, 16 of whom he'd never met prior to riding together on a BDR. So suffice to say, Chad has no shortage of stories to share. And having ridden 99.6% of BDR routes, Chad also has no shortage of information to impart about these incredible tracks. For a preview of what's in store for you check out his awesome video of his first BDR, the California Route. |
