I think what appeals to me most is that someone looked at the route and thought...hmm, that's not enough of a challenge....I think i'll do it on a bike without gears....

Great stuff!

Hi everybody, I'm new here and have only recently discovered the tour divide.
I have been following the live tracker for a the last few days now and I'm just in awe of what these guys are doing.

Then I find out that some people can do this on a singlespeed......and they are placing really high.....!!! WOW!
How can they do this? What type of gear do they run? So impressed, totally amazing and quite inspirational.
