Introduction
How This Plan Came To Be
Early in 2024 my friend Andrew proposed that we tackle the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route. We both have flexibility on the work front and the timing fit fairly well with our family commitments. At 50, neither of us are getting younger but we both feel like we're as fit and capable as we've ever been so seizing the moment was the only option.
Over the last two years we've done two seven-day trips bikepacking trips together and have been learning this art of travel as we go. This trip is a big step up, but with some experience and about six months to prepare, we think we're up for it.
We both plan to keep journals here so our family and friends can follow along, and so we can have a record of the trip. Andrew's journal is here: https://www.cycleblaze.com/journals/shifting
