Episode 80: Riding Montana's Great Divide Mountain Bike Route with Rob and Todd

Rob and Todd are on the show today to talk about their Great Divide Adventure through Montana. In early June these guys loaded up their custom Salsa bikepacking bicycles and headed north to ride a portion of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. They rode 10 days of forest roads, single track and other varieties of terrain which provided them with over 40,000 feet of climb. They were able to ride with some of the racers doing the Tour Divide which is a race from the border of Canada to the border of Mexico. I would consider both of these guys elite athletes who train and race bikes year round, but they made it clear that if people train properly, have the right equipment, the right attitude, and enough time, anyone can tackle this route. You can head over to the Adventure Cycling website for more information about the route and I also found a great website about the race called tourdivide.org. www.murphologypodcast.com www.adventurecycling.org www.tourdivide.org
