A little about the trip

Since I haven't posted many details about the trip yet, I figure now would be a good time. This summer Doug W, Jen W, Nat M, and myself will be riding the Continental Divide by mountain bike with trailers. We don't follow the same trail the hikers do but we never stray more then 50 miles from it. Here is a photo showing the path we will follow:














Our trip will begin on June 5th when we fly out of Manchester airport in NH and land in Calgary International Airport in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. We will shuttle to Banff with our bikes and trailers and spend a couple of days there before heading off. The trail is approximately 2,700 miles and around 200,000 feet of climbing. Here is a picture of what our bikes will look like with the trailers.










We are planning on spending most of the summer out there and returning sometime in August. We will be passing through some of the most spectacular sites the country has to offer and guaranteed we will be taking lots of photos. I will be updating the blog every chance I get so please feel free to check back often!!!
