LONGEST OFF-PAVEMENT BIKE ROUTE IN THE WORLD
The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is the world's premier off-pavement route, crisscrossing the Continental Divide. This route is defined by the word "remote." Its remoteness equates with spectacular terrain and scenery. The entire route is basically dirt-road and mountain-pass riding every day. In total, it is 2700 miles long and has over 200,000 feet of elevation gain. All of this climbing gets the rider into visually spectacular places and incredibly fit shape. The route was designed by Adventure Cycling and sees fewer than 30 "through-bikers" each year.DUSTIN AND KRISTEN YODER MEMORIAL FOUNDATION
