As bicycle races go the attractions of the Tour Divide are not immediately apparent. For a start it is the longest mountain-bike race in the world running nearly 3 000 miles down the Rockies from Canada to Mexico. But the distance is not the only challenge
- the total ascent of 200 000 ft is the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest nearly seven times. Then there are the dangerous animals likely to be encountered on the route: grizzly bears mountain lions & wolves not to mention rattlesnakes & tarantulas. Worse the rewards for all this effort are strictly limited. Unlike in the Tour de France there is no fabled yellow jersey & no prize money. Yet undaunted & in spite of never having owned a mountain bike Paul Howard signed up. Battling the worst weather for generations drinking whiskey with a cowboy & singing karaoke with the locals Howards journey turned into more than just a race
- it became the adventure of a lifetime.
