Sorting thru the gear

Only a few more days, and we will be off to Roosville, MT to start our epic adventure. We've been planning for months. We've read the blogs, the books, and spoke with people who have done it. And now it's time. Doug and I are going to ride our mountain bikes the entire length of the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route - from the Canadian border to the Mexican border - 2470 miles.  We are pulling BOB Ibex trailers and carrying paniers on the front.  We've budgeted 39 days, which is about 100k or 65 miles per day.

We will be posting our story to this blog when time and internet connection permits. We've provided a link to Trackleaders which will show our progress and current location using a SPOT GPS tracker. For those of you who want to follow us on the route, please use this link.

We are super excited to get started! Day 1 = June 22.
