Discovering Some of America’s Greatest Rides

Cycle News Staff | February 20, 2020

Honda and Rever want to help fight your winter non-riding blues.

Winter can be a long, boring period for motorcycle enthusiasts in much of the United States. However, wet, frozen and house-bound is the perfect time to check out some of the best rides in the country, virtually, and plan for your on-the-road goals after the spring thaw.

Since our friends at Rever have incredible insight into the best roads and routes in the world, we thought they’d be the perfect source for some bucket-list rides to plan during the winter. We tapped into Rever’s upcoming Honda Gold Wing Discovery Challenge route inventory and are bringing some great regional rides to you here. These are routes specifically planned for Honda Gold Wing goodness, but they are great rides no matter what bike you’re on.

Take a look, plan to and around them, and then hit the road after the big thaw.

REVER’s Honda Gold Wing Challenge

Honda has teamed up with Rever (the world’s largest motorcycle ride-planning, tracking and sharing app) to share their picks for great Gold Wing rides. Starting in March, you can join the Honda Gold Wing Discovery Challenge on Rever. Participants can climb the leaderboard by tracking their rides, accumulating miles in the app and grabbing Challenge POIs. They can also earn bonus points for checking out the Gold Wing at Honda dealerships (which will be geofenced as POIs), qualifying them for the chance to win cool weekly prizes. And don’t worry, you don’t need to be riding a Gold Wing to win.

Rever has built numerous epic rides in six U.S. regions, perfect for experiencing from the saddle of a Honda Gold Wing (or mile-eating motorcycle) this spring. You can find these routes in Rever’s Discover section under the Honda icon. Here is a preview of six of the best Gold Wing rides in the United States
