Final missive of three incredible years!

Reflections So how does one summarise the most incredible experience of a lifetime? It’s as impossible as the adventure itself! I have been on the road for the best part of three years, with minor health interruptions! I’ve had the opportunity to ride Bob in 5...

Job Done

Video Update - Final Miles...Well as many of you know, my final days ride in to Banff was washed out, and so I was determined to finish off the Divide as I had intended….on the Divide. It was a matter of finding the right time when it wasn’t raining! Since I arrived...

Fernie to… Banff (almost!)

So here we are….(nearly….see below) at the end of an incredible adventure. The last section of the Divide is a steady uphill drag from Fernie to Banff, with the last bit downhill…some sort of perverse reward for the near 200,000ft of climbing up to that point! I left...

The Basin

Across the desert of Wyoming The Basin is one of the most challenging parts of the Divide. It’s 225 miles with over 11,000 ft of elevation gain across an area with limited water and only one possible food store en route. It’s brutally windy, and can be both baking hot...

High WINDS heading to Rawlins

The wind was unreal!!After a pretty decent sleep on the floor of the cabin I was up around 5:30 and had the luxury of boiling a kettle and making coffee and hot porridge. None of the cabin facilities were supposed to be used by campers but….seemed a shame to not use...
