Cory, owner of camel-adv.com, on the "Water Bear" Challenge: "One of the challenges at the 2014 BMW GS Trophy was called "Water Bear". One person riding the R1200GS, two more pushing. Fastest time across the creek and back won. Only a couple rules, one of which was, "both helpers must be touching the bike at all times". I tripped on a rock on the way back, hung on anyway and got dragged across the finish line. Good times."

The GS Trophy has officially begun, starting out yesterday with all of the teams arriving, setting up camp, filling out paperwork, and being welcomed with a 'White Hat' ceremony. There were photos taken, food eaten, and celebrating that ended with an early turn-in for sleep. They had to be up early this morning to head off on the first leg of their ride and the start of a huge and challenging adventure. If you are in the Alberta Rockies this week, keep your eyes peeled for the GS Trophy rolling by!  You can get the latest overall news on the GS Trophy website and I hope we see some of you at the event near Nelson next week.

Apparently the Utah Backcountry Discovery Route is INCREDIBLE... Cory just posted this photo and it is bloody beautiful!   If you haven't planned to do so already, be sure to add either the Utah BDR or the Arizona BDR (or BOTH!) to your motorcycle itineraries this summer. I only have two weeks this summer and I'm hoping to spend most of it on the West coast exploring Washington and British Columbia. If you are going to be at the TT Rally in Washington at the end of the month, let me know! I should be catching the tail end of it. Unlike Cory, I'm brand new to adventure riding and just got my first motorcycle this year, so I'm itching to head off...

This is the perfect example of where you can go, how much farther, when you don't have to worry about stopping the adventure ride of a lifetime in hopes of finding a gas station! The Arizona BDR definitely made my list of things to do before I die! Just look at this breathtaking view.

Hey guys, this is Laura. I've been helping to fill orders for Camel Tank while Cory is away on a road trip. You just might see him if you happen to hit the Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route. It is hard to be stuck in town when I see photos like this one!   Such a gorgeous place, and Cory reports that the route is an incredible ride. If you haven't got your Camel Tank already, make trips like this easier and say goodbye to the hassle of gas stations by getting one before it's too late!
