BOM-MT1000 2015

START DATE: SATURDAY JULY 18, 2015

This will be the sixth year in the MT1000 adventure ride series.

Last year the ride took on a whole new dimension and and added new country and roads in Montana along with a strong list of roads in eastern Idaho.  The formal ride was 1,300 miles to provide a week long ride and several riders extended the ride on both ends out to 1,800 miles and 10 days to really stretch the "1000" mile dimension. Last years planning blog is located at: http://bom2014.blogspot.com/.

This year, the Back Road Discovery Route people will have added Idaho to their list of states. Initial planning for the BOM2015 has been based on reversing the 2014 route and bypassing the Glacier/Front Range portion.  Other riders have indicated a wish to link the BOM with the IDBDR to make a really epic ride. We've been putting together some ideas that could incorporate both desires so stay tuned for further notices.  The IDBDR route will be posted and available in July so we are waiting to see exactly where it runs.  The Idaho portions of last year's ride seemed to mimic a lot of what has been leaked about the IDBDR so we will see what develops.
