Riding the Great Divide
In summer 2025 I made it 2,000 miles along the Great Divide before five broken ribs ended it in Del Norte, Colorado.
Unfinished business — finished.
In September 2026 I went back and rode the rest — all the way to the Mexican border at Antelope Wells. Over 2,700 miles, Banff to Mexico. Done.

The preparation
Starting at 127 kg, a year of transforming body and mind — a coach, logging every meal, and building from finishing last in an 82 km gravel race to being ready for the Divide.
2,000 miles of magic
Snow-capped Banff, Montana’s Big Sky, the basins of Wyoming, the high passes of Colorado. Amazing scenery, amazing people, an incredible journey.
The crash
On an unremarkable strip of dirt outside Del Norte, Colorado — a crash, and five broken ribs. The journey ended. But not the dream.
The finish
In September 2026 I went back to Del Norte and rode the final stretch to the Mexican border at Antelope Wells — finishing what I started. Over 2,700 miles, Banff to Mexico.
