Thanks for the links,

I have this GPX downloaded already, I wasn't certain that any of the previous GPX's would be considered the "offical" 2018 route GPX.

Have a great day!

Garrett

Where can I find the official route, minus the detours?

I’m going to be leaving on the 18th, figured I’d be able to find and download the detours somewhere on route.

Thanks

Garrett

Hello All,

I ditched the FB, so hopefully this thread will serve as a way I can keep aprised of any details leading upto this years race.  Unfortunately, I wasn't able to move my vacation around the decided upon start date of the 29th, I sent Stefan a LOI today locking in my ITT challenge heading out of Waterton the morning of Thursday, July 19, 2018.

I've got a couple questions in for Stefan awaiting answers: first I am in need of confirmation that Toby's GPX from Denver to Durango will suffice and second what the link for trackleaders will be for registering my spot.

I'm excited and hoping for a safe race attempt.

Cheers,

Smokeater

Hello All,

My name is Garrett, I've been riding bike passionately since the mid 90's.  My first MTB I bought with money saved working a summer job at a local PT clinic.  It was a COYOTE ALU 5, polished aluminum, super sweet.  I spent many summers afterward riding the trails of Keystone CO with that rig, learning often times the hard way, how to handle single track.  After high school, I started working in the industry in Denver, CO for a shop thats no longer around.  I met some awesome people, raced in some cool events across the western Rocky's and solidified my love for the dirt and even the tarmac.  In more recent years I've relocated to NW Iowa where I work as a professional fire fighter/paramedic and now have a wife and 3 awesome kids.  As Ive gotten older Ive tuned into more endurance oriented sports, and found that experiencing the beauty in my surroundings, either in the woods or on the Iowa plains makes me content.  I'm here to learn what it means to venture into the wilderness on bike (I've gotten decent at managing the plains self-contained)  Several rides I'd like to conquer would be the Tour Divide, Leadville 100, TransAm and something, anything up in the Pacific Northwest.

Cheers
