Yesterday I learned about the #tourdivide #bicycling race and it is… bonkers? And great?
2700 miles of mostly dirt/gravel biking from Canada to Mexico, no support, often not much sleep. Pretty much unsponsored; basically fans follow via Instagram and GPS. Has a vibe very similar to what I imagine the #tourdefrance had a century ago.
