The Great Divide
Okay guys next summer there may not be any mountaineering. I just convinced Matty to do the ultimate bike race. The tour de france has nothing on this one. We have one year to prepare which is plenty of time. Here’s the description:
The Great Divide Race is a self-supported, solo competition following the 2,490-mile Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. Traversing Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, the route demands over 200,000 feet of climbing along it’s length. Competitors carry all equipment necessary to negotiate the backcountry, restocking on food and other supplies from the small towns along the route.
So basically you start in Canada and ride to Mexico. The winner this year finished in 15 days, 1 hour, 27 minutes. The female winner finished 7th overall and did in a fucking single speed. Lemme repeat that she finished in 22 days in a FUCKING SINGLE SPEED. The web site has more info
