"We, cyclists, are slow and hungry. We visit places others do not. We are good customers," Jan Klavora. That sentence really sums it up! Check out the The Trans Dinarica: A new 5,500km bike trail connecting one of Europe's most remote regions. Tranquil, small towns full of culture, and oh so picturesque!

Linking eight Balkan nations, the new Trans Dinarica cycling trail twists through some of the continent's most stunning – and least-visited – landscapes.

Do you know what season it is? You got it - registration for the BRNW rides season! I got out my registration tree, registration stockings, and registration jammies for the cats.

Set your alarms for 6 pm (Pacific Time, like fer sure) on Wednesday the 11th when Jim opens the doors on BikeReg and the BRNW retail shop. See all the details at brnw dot org/register if you don't get the emails (or even if you do). The site has a full refresh (thanks James!) and newsletters are now online - click around to see the changes and info.

While I wait, I am going to watch some registration movies and have some registration eggnog (Eberhards!) and registration fruitcake.

Happy Holidays and Register On!

Some pics from Jim's recent scouting trip of a 2026 route:
"...it includes some of the craziest roads we've ever ridden. Can't tell you where just yet, but we're always working ahead, trying to find the coolest routes for you."

Such a tease! But this part is no tease - open registration for the 2025 rides is planned for Wednesday, December 11. Lots more details in the email Jim sent out. What - you don't get the email?!? Well, go to the profile brnw website link to sign up for those so you are in the *know*. The site is getting a refresh for the 2025 info soon as the details are finalized for the two big rides and the small group tours.

Stay warm! (snowing here - how is it your way?)

Happy September! Jim and the wrecking crew are out op-testing the July 2025 route in NE Washington and parts of Idaho. Pictures coming when available. Here are some shots from the OR 2025 route pre-ride, pulled from Burk's video - link on the brnw.org homepage. Sounds like the Ashland and Klamath Falls area will be great and Jim even got some saddle time (see the last picture for a happy Jim). You may not see him on a bike much during the tours but he would rather ride than drive every day. Scouting and pre-rides are when he gets to spin in the big ring and suffer on climbs. Just about 290 days to get ready for the rides!
