I Was NOT Expecting So Much SAND: Ibex 450 Oregon BDR, Day 1

It's time to put the CFMOTO Ibex 450 to the ultimate test of an adventure bike, a multi-day Backcountry Discovery Route adventure. I loaded up my Ibex with a ton of camping gear and headed out with my buddy Sean to tackle 2/3 of the Oregon BDR over 3 days. We started at ORBDR section 3 in Christmas Valley and were immediately blindsided by the amount of adventure bike deep sand riding we had to do. I rode this exact route last fall and this lengthy deep sand section was not there...so it was a bit of a surprise. After waddling through the worst of it, we continued on down ORBDR section 3 into the Newberry Crater area, around and through a giant lava flow, and then into Sunriver for dinner. It took a lot longer to ride our ADV bikes the 100 miles than I thought it would, so we ended up skipping motorcycle camping for the first night and just crashed in a hotel. Make sure you check out all three days of the Oregon BDR Ibex 450 series.
