Great Ride, I highly recommend this ride if you are carrying the adventure spirit. We did this ride starting on Monday July 24, 2006. Enjoy the stories and pictures below. If you would like to ride this yourself the GPS and Hotel information is given at the end of the page.

About the Route:

The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is a 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.

About our bikes:

As a group we have each chosen some very different bikes. All can be considered long distance adventure bikes. All the bikes have been modified with larger gas tanks and many comfort items to help us go
the distance. For those interested in bike details see below.

Kevin: BMW HP2
Steve: KLR650
Ken: KTM 950
Bob: KTM 950
Charlie: Suzuki DRZ 400
Jim: Yamaha WR450
Jeff: Honda XR650
Chris: Honda XL650

We will have to contend with extreme weather changes each day. Many days may be nice but all days can offer anything from cold rain, to afternoon storms and hale, to desert like 110+. So we will be carrying lots of gear to help us survive the climate change.
