ACA Press Release

Kevin Montgomery on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route

The Adventure Cycling Association sent out a Press Release regarding the Great Divide Route and the races on the route a few day ago. Nothing really of note, although it is cool that Tour Divide is getting a little more press these days. A cool side note (that doesn't really matter too much) is that they use a picture of me from the 2006 race in their release (although you can barely notice it is me). Neat!

Tour Divide / Great Divide Route Photo Gallery

Great Divide Race 2007 Starting Line

This morning I finished putting together the master Tour Divide / Great Divide Mountain Bike Route Photo Gallery. Hundreds of photo organized in order from Banff, Alberta (Canada) to Antelope Wells, NM (USA). If anyone really wants to learn about the GDMBR, this is a great way to find out about it!

San Francisco: Ideal for base miles

weekly forecast for Feb. 2008 in San Francisco

The weather the past few days has been absolutely amazing. I might be able to lay down 22 hours of base this week! (Of course, this is a little bit more than I'm supposed to do, but I feel obligated to take advantage of this and enjoy it!)

Things are really looking good for this year's Tour Divide race. I've been able to put in more base miles this years than the first two years I did the Great Divide Race, so I'm hoping this will translate into a great race for me.

Kill the road bike

Today was a holiday so I headed out at 8 am to go for a quick ride. Anyone who is a biker and lives in S.F. knows that really the only option for a ride is to go over the Golden Gate bridge, of course, there is a big city and nasty roads between my place and the bridge. Getting to the bridge is, to say the least, a huge pain in the ass, with long lights, road-that-might-as-well-be-freeways, and bike paths. Today, I was going down a bike path to avoid the rush hour, when I came up on a group of joggers. I slowed down and suddenly, some crazy lady just popped out behind them right into my lane and BAM! hits me dead on. Front wheel is taco'd and the front fork is bent to hell.

After cracking my superlight last week, I am down to ZERO ridable bikes. Miserable.
