Riding the Divide (2026)

- - -
Angelly, Spencer and myself rode 2700 miles over 2 months from the Mexican border into Canada. The Divide is a gravel cycling route through some of America's most beautiful wilderness. We camped most nights and ocassionally passed through small towns, carrying everything we needed on our bikes. Reflections to come, but for now, do enjoy some pictures from the trip!
