Touratech & MotoDiscovery Copper Canyon Ride – Day 5
Yesterday’s riding was a nice combination of road and relatively easy dirt. Today’s route back out of the canyon proved a bit more challenging for many.

Today we get an early start so that we can make it to Urique while it is still light out deep in the canyon.
Today’s ride is one of the longer ones, but the roads are twisty, and the scenery is breathtaking as we wind our way up to the upper Sierras.
We get to know our group a little better over breakfast this morning, then take off for the first step of the trip: crossing the border into Mexico. Luckily for us, Juan and Alfonso are old hands at this process, and after waiting through a couple different lines, we’re all set.
Today, we arrive in Douglas, Arizona to kick off our adventure through Mexico with our friends at MotoDiscovery.
From March 20-23, 2014, the BDR Organization will host the Wickenburg Desert Ride on a private ranch in Arizona. It’s a great way for ADV enthusiasts and industry professionals to enjoy a spring time desert ride and give something back to the ADV community.
