At $3200 you'd need a hefty lock.

Great ride this morning! Hit the trail at 7:30 ended about 11:15. It was very dry and fast. My fitness level is pretty good but I seem to be getting some arthritis in my left wrist, the one I broke, still I was plenty fast today with a lot in reserve. Some kind of event was starting just as we left. My buddy stopped to check it out but you know me anti-social... didn't want the humans to steal my buzz.

Anywho for your reading pleasure here is an ultra mountain biker's blog. It is worth a read.

Tour Divide - 2745 miles along the spine of the Continental Divide !

I've read several accounts of walking the Divide... envy, envy, envy
but this is the first I've read of biking. double, double, double-envy.

I know of most of the places mentioned for Canada and Montana,
but only behind the steering wheel comfort of a car or pick up.
Fantastic country

... further south I imagine would be miserable riding.

Thanks for the link.

ETA: I found a link to the individual route histories of the riders... here is Pershall's

Yeah, the Southern end would get ugly. I can see riding it but not as a race.
