Just a quick update on where I’ll be – I’ve met up with another Divide rider here and most likely we’ll set off tomorrow for the long (220 mile) and very remote section to Rawlins, southern Wyoming.  I’m not sure … Continue reading →

Five more days of riding, 250 odd miles, and several temperature zones later, I’ve gone from the wheatfields of Idaho, through Yellowstone and Teton National Parks (or at least, I skirted Yellowstone), went up and over Union Pass, and I’m … Continue reading →
