    I don't think I would ride that trail by myself, and I don't have vision problems! You've inspired me to get back on my bike and quit with the excuses I make for not riding. Pedal on my brother!!

    “That bike doesn’t want to go in a box.” “I think I’m gonna go for it” Oh Chris! We’re right behind you literally and figuratively cheering you on man! Such an honor to have ridden with you when we did. Rob too. And Rob…unfinished business awaits you on the next section of trail when the time is right. So glad you got out of this trip what you needed Rob! Cheers mates! Life’s a Journey, so Ride On

    Your strength is inspiring. I am new to the bikepacking world. I live in Banff and see many types of ambitious humans with their homes on wheels heading south.

    Best of luck! I am wondering about the math, though. Tour Divide is actually about 2750 miles. You say you're about 1600 in. That would be about 1150 left to go.

    F*ck Chris! What an emotional roller coaster! I feel like I’ve rolled up & down the rails right along with you in this video. I support any decision you’d make at this point, but I know you can do this. I KNOW you got this. I’m so looking forward to seeing you lift that bike aloft in front of the border sign at Antelope Wells.

    Another tough one. Builds character for sure. The Rene Hearse tires are the lightest on the market. What did the shop change them out with? If yo are gonna get a mechanical like that it may as well be right there! Great video.

    Hi Chris, just tracked you before steamboat and will be waiting to meet you! My location is between Williams fork reservoir & Ute Pass into Silverthorne, MM 14.5 CR #3, there is a white cooler, small bike decor at road on left under tree. Get your camera ready, I'll be ringing a cow bell as you come around bend in road. There is plenty of room here to spend night, all welcomed! Many know horseshoe campground, I'm about 4 miles before.
