After 38 days away, I rolled back into Durango, CO this week—1,800 miles and 168,183 ft of climbing later. [That’s more climbing than the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route in fewer miles.] 💀⛰️

I savored the last few days riding
The last five days from Park City to Moab, Utah have been some of the most wild, stunning, and humbling of this entire ride. Just wow!

From Park City, I climbed into the Unita Mountains where afternoon thunderstorms dropped temps fast. I waited out
For this last section, the route took us from Lava Hot Springs, Idaho, to Preston—infamously known as the town where Napoleon Dynamite was filmed (the route even passes right in front of his house). From Preston, the route crossed the Bear Rive

A Guide to My Tour Divide Route POI Map

July 19, 2021

If you are curious about how I planned my resupply points along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route for the Tour Divide, look no further. Prior to the ride I spent hours cross referencing resupply resources for the GDMBR and importing them onto Ride with GPS, my go to navigation and routing platform. I also added some POI’s that I am particularly interested in such as summits, creek crossings, dispensaries, and laundromats. After using this map throughout my ride I have got to say that it is pretty darn accurate but keep in mind that water levels could change every/.throughout the year of course and some businesses may change their opening hours. The video above outlines how I researched the POI’s and plan my resupplies along the route. I do this before every ride I go on. Now, with this process outlined, you can too! Lastly, I have divided the entire route into six different route segments making them a slightly more digestible file to view, download and upload. Check those out in my Great Divide Classic Collection.
