1,200 Miles of Nevada Dirt

Johnny Campbell’s “thing for Honda” started at age nine when his dad brought home an XR75. For me, it was riding my neighbor’s XR100 at age 11 that triggered my obsession. Now that we have a legitimate ADV option from Honda, it’s making some of us grown-ups feel like kids again.

The Cariboo-Chilcotin

One of my favorite regions to ride in British Columbia, Canada, is the Cariboo-Chilcotin, stretching from the Pacific Coast to the Cariboo Mountains. Tourism calls it the land without limits, and with a myriad of diverse ecosystems packed into one awesome area, there are plenty of riding options. Highlights include the dry landscapes near the Fraser River, dense forests, wilderness camping, alpine mountains, and vast grasslands. And… you can get all that from only five days of riding.
