A place to document my thoughts and experiences as I pedal along the 2700 mile network of trails and logging/fire roads that make up the Great Divide Route. Traversing the spine of the continental divide from Banff to the Mexican Border.

Only 14 days of residency and 3 call shifts left and I sever the umbilical of this insanely long road of medical training!!! My revelate design cockpit bags arrived yesterday and the mighty El Mariachi has already tried them on and simply put, they look tight. Super quality hand made bags. My counter assault bear spray and marine horn fit nicely into the mountain feed bags with plenty of room for other gear (see pic).

Yeah, make sure you keep those bags on that bike when you cross the finish line because I am going to be riding that GD pretty soon, and I'm taking you as my guide. Awesome set up man, I love it! By the way, your bear spray is called counter assault? I guess that would imply that you were assaulted by a bear, lived through it, and are going bear hunting? Haha... I love the bear topic!
ReplyDeleteAre those hybrid tires? Seems like you would need some lugs for the first half of the trip, no? Aww, I'm sure you already scoped all that out anyways, she looks mean.
ReplyDeleteDo you think I could build my Diamond Back up of this trip? I was thinking maybe just a new fork and tires, add some bags and a trailer and I should be good to go???
