Tour Divide: 2,745 miles ultra-cycling challenge
Tour Divide is an ultra-cycling challenge to race self-supported along all 2,745 miles of Adventure Cycling Association's Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. Tour Divide has no designated rest periods or set distances a racer must travel daily. The clock runs non-stop. She or he who can ride the fastest while making fewer, shorter stops usually wins. With an average time-to-completion of three weeks in the saddle, TD is the longest–arguably most challenging–mountain bike race on the planet. It is a contest for the ultra-fit but only if ultra-prepared for myriad contingencies of backcountry biking.
Whether voyager or voyeur, Tour Divide is a dramatic tribute to both human capacity to endure and Adventure Cycling's excellence in crafting North America's crown jewel of off-pavement touring routes.
