About the ride
Embark on the 3-Day WYCO Adventure Ride, a thrilling journey starting in Berthoud, Colorado. We tracked an 80% dirt route up to Riverside with great terrain and incredible views. On Day 1, traverse past Carter Lake, up Buckhorn Road, and over Deadman’s Pass, navigating scenic gravel and dirt roads through Hohnholz Lakes Road, Pinkham Creek Pass, and Independence Pass, ending in Riverside, Wyoming. Day 2 takes you along sections 1 and 2 of the WY BDR , splitting off at Battle Pass onto the Continental Divide Trail and Bridger Peak, then back to Riverside for lunch. Continue through the stunning French Creek burn scar and ascend Snowy Range Road in the Medicine Bow Range before returning to Riverside. Day 3 retraces the path to Berthoud, with optional challenge routes and fun passes for advanced riders, ensuring a mix of challenging terrain and breathtaking scenery. This ride promises a memorable adventure for intermediate and advanced riders alike.
This is a level 3 ride equivalent to a BDR intermediate route with a relaxed pace.
