A dream come true! We finally went on our first long distance bike packing adventure! Hop on board and tune in to this episode: The beginning few days of our 2024 tour of The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR). We finally, finally, finally after YEARS of dreaming and waiting and planning and preparing got to put that training and preparation for a long distance bike tour to the test! Stay tuned for regular drops this fall and winter 2024 of episodes documenting the 56 total days we were out on trail dog packing the divide. What could happen in 2,700 miles (4,345 km), nearly 200,000 feet (60,960 M) of elevation gain, oh and all sorts of weather and gear issues? Stay tuned to find out!!! We had dreams of living the dirt bag lifestyle one day and doing a long distance thru hike and bike tour one day. This is our journey toward accomplishing that goal.
