Thanks Tanner for the NEW Topic Link ! 

I try and help ANY & ALL the Tour Divide riders every year.
However...times are pretty rough for me this year.
~ So, Feel Free to tap on my window at back building of YWCA; 2nd window PARKING LOT SIDE back building near bike rack; the one with the little fan in it; tap on it....ANY Tour Divide Rider is welcome !    I will try to help anyone as best as I can with information.
My room is packed with 28 boxes and a Bob Trailer & bike hangs from ceiling. Boy! Do I wish I owned a Bed & breakfast! LoL

***Doesn't look like I will be able to go (again) this year. CRaP-O !!! BIG TIME! Its hitting home that hard times with NO money has left little funds for powders and training time.

 I had my heart into leaving this year (that was the plan since last year with mom having Cancer and passing on but then, family problems arose) Dang!!! ...a very stubborn disruptive brother not willing to sign off on various estate accounts has left me without money...money I was naturally counting on; due to his controlling ways of using moms accounts to bargain and control me. Its just not going to happen. I AM a Free spirit!
This is my present Story of what was suppose to happen last year...and I am working on making it happen.
 Anyways, that's the story for those thinking I was coming for sure. Last year, mom passed away of Cancer, the 3rd day RIGHT after Grand Dept. Sad but allowed me to be with the TDR riders as she knew it meant a lot to me. Thanks everyone for understanding.

LOOKS like the Grand Dept is a RAINY Start ! I compiled some links for everyone to notice.
The bridge taken out by the floods I believe will be repaired in time. I will post a picture for ALL to see.

I'm trying to get together my underground (*for TDR only!) Question & Answer Session.
***Key Point: I do this strictly out of my love and respect I have for amazing riders that come here from ALL parts of the world.
I have NO affiliation or represent anyone from ACA or intend to. I love cyclist.
I very much love 'each' and 'respect' every one of you for challenging your selves doing something so EPIC!
 I have done this the last few years for the Tour Divide Riders held at the Elk & Oarsmen Bar on the left at 1st Cross-walk in Banff as you travel downtown.
Meeting Time is > 5pm = usually everyone stays for 2 hrs then its BEDTime! *Right!?
