Parte de mis 28000 km de viaje en bicicleta incluyó una ruta de bici de montaña bajando las montañas en Canada y Estados Unidos. Con 4418km de largo con 60km de subida, es la ruta de montaña de bici más larga en todo el mundo; comienza en Banff (Canada) y termina en la frontera de…
Currently sitting in a cheap hotel sharing a room with two other cyclists halfway down Baja California (Mexico), I finally have a moment to relax. Lots has happened since my last post but it’s been hard to keep up to date as I’ve had to rush to the next stage of my trip. The final…
Finally, the end of the Great Divide mountain Biking trail is in sight; I now only have 500 miles or so left to the Mexican border. Although there are a few high passes left, most have now been ticked off as I edge to safer territory for the approaching winter months. I left Del Norte…
After the conditions I experienced from Rawlins (WY) to Brush Mountain (CO) (see previous post) I thought my Divide tour was over and that I’d have to detour via Utah and Arizona. Although I’m sure this would have been a superb alternative I had my mind set on completing this specific mountain bike route and…
Made it to Colorado! Started in Rawlins, WY and had an extremely tough day today; snowing heavily, lots of elevation, cold, muddy tracks destroying my gears, 80 to 90 miles… No place I’d rather be. Started at first light and arrived at Brush Mountain Lodge in the dark. Stopping for lunch Aspen Alley (8500 feet…
Quick update. Currently in Pinedale, Wyoming. The passes are getting higher and higher (up to 9,500 feet) and it’s getting colder and colder. I feel like I’m still on the trail by the skin of my teeth, with winter snapping at my heels and gradually over taking me. The next 3 or 4 days to…
After my night in the snow, I was tired, cold and underslept. Every time I rounded a corner and saw the tiniest hill my mood darkened; my fingers and toes were very cold and I wondered about the risks of frost bite. I managed to crawl my way to Ovando, a small little town with…
Camping just after the pass at around 6000 feet between Clearwater Lake and Seeley Lake. The snow slowed me down significantly so I ran out of daylight and it became too dark to descend safely. After making the mistake of leaving them in the vestibule of my tent over night, my shoes became ice blocks…
After saying goodbye to my new friends in Corbin I set off at around 10am well fed and rested; an unusual feeling on this trip. I had been advised of a lot of grizzlies in this section and that it was extremely remote so I planned to stay in a cabin en route that evening.…
Ok I wrote this a few days ago when I had no reception in the back country: After stocking my body up on pizza, I headed off up the 4 km hill from Elkford. Having had nearly 2 weeks of sunshine, the sudden rain storm was an acceptable hardship but my feet and legs were…
