There are many ways to approach adventure riding, but if you’re new to the experience, going with a more experienced friend is probably your best bet. That’s presumably at least part of the reason why moto travelers and YouTubers Doodle on a Motorcycle and As the Magpie Flies teamed up to visit an abandoned California ghost town in the Inyo Mountains.
While Amanda (Magpie) is an experienced adventure rider, Caroline (Doodle) hasn’t really done much adventure riding before. In fact, before this experience, she’d done zero ADV without an instructor nearby—so both the planning and the execution of this trip were all-new experiences for her.
