The Great Divide Mountain Bike Trail - The Final Chapter

The Great Divide Final Chapter

It all began here near Salida, CO on Labor Day 2006

LONGEST OFF-PAVEMENT BIKE ROUTE IN THE WORLD
The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is the premier off-pavement route, crisscrossing the Continental Divide north to south. This route is defined by the word "remote." Its remoteness equates with spectacular terrain and scenery. The entire route is basically dirt-road and mountain-pass riding every day. In total, it has over 200,000 feet of elevation gain. All of this climbing gets the rider into visually spectacular places and incredibly fit shape. Learn more by visiting the Adventure Cycling website.

These are the map sections we'll be using to complete the Great Divide Ride. We started eight years ago (1998) at the Canadian border. Hard to believe it was over a hundred degrees on that hot July day so many years and miles ago. Since then we've picked off little pieces of the trail as we've had time. The last trip on the trail was in 2004 when we traveled from Pinedale, WY to Salida, CO. This year, we're gonna finish the trail so we can move on to other projects.
