EPIC ride just for YOU!

Sodak
Several years ago a friend and I hoping one day to challenge ourselves with doing the Tour Divide so we created this route as a training ground. In our preparing we came up with several different challenges to make sure we would be able to successfully finish the 2700+ miles of the Divide. This is one of our challenges I used in preparing for my 2017 run at Divide. I hope you find it enjoyable yet challenging. And may a Tour Divide run be in your future!
