We rode the Great Divide Mountainbike Route (GDMBR) in 2023.
The GDMBR is a 4339 km/2696 mile long mountainbike route from Banff in Canada to Antelope Wells on the American/Mexican border of New Mexico. Of all these kms, 90% is unpaved. It goes through the Canadian provinces of Alberta and British Columbia and the US states Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico. It follows the Continental Divide, a mountain range in all of Americas that separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean from those that drain into the Atlantic Ocean. A large part of the route is through the Rocky Mountains.
The route has existed for quite some time and has been on our to-ride-list since about 2012. Because Ronnie could take a sabbatical this year, we were finally able to ride the route.
