John and Nick’s Big Adventures: 800 Miles of Bad Decisions | Winners Take Y’all Podcast

This weeks show powered by Cycle Specialty and fueled by bad decisions, dehydrated meals, and questionable life choices, the boys from Winners Take Y’all got together this week to break down the upcoming Arizona adventure ride that’s somehow equal parts survival mission and motorcycle trip.

The crew is taking on the legendary Arizona Backcountry Discovery Route (AZBDR) — nearly 800 miles off-road starting near the Mexico border outside of Tucson and ending at the Utah border near Page, Arizona. Five days. Six riders. One goal: make it home with minimal emotional damage and at least half the bikes still running.

Bike lineup for the expedition:
• 1 KTM 690
• 1 Husky 701
• 2 GasGas 700s
• 2 Honda CRF300L Rallys

The KTM-based riders are embracing the rugged outdoor lifestyle and camping each night under the stars like true adventure influencers. Meanwhile, the Honda riders booked hotels every night because apparently “hard enduro” now includes continental breakfast and functioning air conditioning.

John is armed with a JetBoil burner and enough dehydrated food packets to survive a Category 4 hurricane. Outside of that, nutrition plans include gas station cuisine and whatever meals Nick can acquire after trading his body for home-cooked food somewhere in rural Arizona.

The guys also dove into route planning, bike setup, luggage systems, gear prep, fuel range concerns, survival equipment, and all the dumb ideas that somehow sound incredible once helmets are involved.

If you’re into motorcycles, adventure riding, camping, poor financial decisions, or listening to grown men confidently explain things they barely understand, this episode is for you.
