Great Divide Bicycle Ride (without competition)

Bikers (and hikers) ride along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (or Tour Divide) on Red Rock Road (in Montana and idaho) to complete a personal best achievement challenge riding from Canada to Mexico or even farther. These bikers are not participating in a race but just following a lifelong dream to stretch themselves beyond their normal limits. Some are riding to support a cause like Cancer Research and others just to challenge themselves. I enjoy documenting their achievements and sharing them with you.
