I did a thing. Completed all 2700 miles of the Tour Divide in ~22 days through some pretty gnarly peanut butter mud, head winds, heat, and storms. Proud to have completed on my first attempt!

hemale in pain posted:Nice, I'd like to do that some day! (but much slower) Took me 20 days to do the GB Divide which is only 1,200 miles. Yeah, I was kind of in between jobs so I just went for it. Didn't exactly have the training I wanted ahead of time but I was able to ramp up the efforts as I went which concluded with 3 efforts of a full 24 hour pushes on the bike (~20ish hours of moving time). Part of that was also just trying to avoid the heat!

Aphex- posted:Oh man that is so awesome, congrats! The GDMBR (not the Tour Divide race) is on my bucket list for sure. The GDMBR is absolutely gorgeous and I absolutely want to come back to simply tour it. There are a lot of fantastic people and lodges you can stay at and enjoy when not racing. I definitely wouldn't recommend the Tour Divide deviations unless you really want to race as they just seem to be there to make the route harder and throw in more hike a bike.
