What we're up to

Hi All --

This blog is going to be a trip log for my Divide Route trip. My good buddy Tim and I are going to be riding from El Paso to Roosville, Montana, primarily on the route that Adventure Cycling put together. (For their info on the route, go here.) The idea will be to write something that includes both the feel of the trip and the technical information needed to do it yourself.

The only other person who has written about going south to north, like we will, is a guy named Scott who did it in 2004. You can see what he wrote and some nice GPS work here.

My claim to uniqueness here will have to be that this may be the only account of a S to N early season trip. There is a vague consensus that early in the season, the best way to do a Divide Route trip is to start in NM like we will. But, it seems like few people do it, and the ones who have done it have yet to write about it. So, maybe this will help establish whether the early season S to N trip is a good idea and even open that route up a bit.

Anyway, enjoy.
