Hello everyone!
I'm planning to ride the entire GDMBR this September, north to south. I know it's a little late in the year but i'm hoping to find at least one other person to ride with. I'd like to shoot for 100 mile days and mostly tent camping, but i'm pretty flexible. I'm a 35 year old male, i'm married and live in Portland Oregon. Let me know if I can answer any questions, or you have some advice for me.
Thanks,
Phil

your timing is really pushing the high elevations...I am trying an August 2-6 start at the same mileage to get done in three weeks...if your plans are more flexible keep trying...any other tourers who want to basically do the tour divide later in the season may take note...happy new year all...

You may want to change the title of your thread. These are two completely different endeavors.
