Two Wheels On My Wagon
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 and wolves not to mention rattlesnakes and tarantulas. Worse the rewards for all this effort are strictly limited. Unlike in the Tour de France there is no fabled yellow jersey and no prize money. Yet undaunted and in spite of never having owned a mountain bike Paul Howard signed up. Battling the worst weather for generations drinking
whiskey with a cowboy and singing karaoke with the locals Howards journey turned into more than just a race - it became the adventure of a lifetime.
