It won’t take long to realize that “The Divide” simply isn’t enough — this trip’s greatness is on display from the first pedal stroke. Grab your knobbies, throw your gear in the support van, and prepare for nine unloaded weeks of day after day epic riding and even better views. Our great adventure begins in the mountain town of Whitefish, Montana, among the towering pines and glacial valleys of the Crown of the Continent. Sixty-five days later, we’ll ride into Antelope Wells, New Mexico, in the wide-open high desert along one of the loneliest stretches of the U.S./Mexico border. In between, some of the wildest Rocky Mountains await.

So throw your gear in the van, pack a bigger memory card, and get ready for an unloaded ride that will show off some of the continent’s most astonishing scenery (and secluded cycling) along the way.
