Great Divide Mountain Bike Route

The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route is one of the longest off-pavement cycling routes in the world — roughly 2,700 miles closely following the Continental Divide from Banff, Canada to the US-Mexico border at Antelope Wells, NM. Most riders go north to south or tackle it in sections over multiple years.
