WELCOME TO THE PREMIERE ISSUE of Favorite Rides & Destinations, a digital publication from the editors of Rider magazine!

Rider has been America’ s leading motorcycle touring magazine since 1974. We explore all 50 states and far corners of the globe to bring you the best in motorcycle travel. Our stories, photos and route maps are meant to inspire your own two-wheeled adventures, everything from weekend escapes to extended vacations. One of the most popular sections of the magazine is Favorite Ride, which is dedicated to reader-submitted tour stories, photos and route details. Some focus on lesser-known roads and hidden gems in the author ' s home state, while others are tales of epic adventures that are too good not to share.

Favorite Rides & Destinations features the“ best of the best” of Rider’ s touring features and Favorite Ride stories, along with exclusive content. You’ ll find motorcycle travel stories from every region of the U. S., reviews of useful products and expert tips on how to make your next tour more memorable and satisfying.

As a digital publication, FR & D is interactive, with photo galleries, videos, links and more, such as downloadable PDFs of route maps. And it’ s portable— you can take it on the road, in your pocket or saddlebag.

Motorcycling is always about the ride— the open-air, exploratory journey. Some rides also take us to amazing destinations, such as rallies, national parks and historic landmarks. We look forward to sharing our favorite rides and destinations with you, and we invite you to share yours with us.

See you on the road! Greg Drenvenstedt
