Bikepacking - Great Divide Part 3 - Episode 4

This is episode 4 of 4 We Made it to the Border!
In this episode we ride the GDMBR from Gila National Forest to the Border - Days 13 to 16 (220 miles).

We had to skip in 2020 but are back in 2021 for the final part 3 of our self supported bicycle adventure along the Adventure Cycling Association Great Divide Route. Part 1 in 2018 we rode from Banff, AB Canada to Butte, MT. Part 2 in 2019 we rode from Butte, MT to Salida, CO. In 2021 we ride from Salida, CO to the ending at the Puerto Palomas border crossing in Columbus, NM (ACA alternative ending). This section took us 16 days to ride the 935 miles to the border.

Hope you all enjoy watching and most important hope we can help inspire you to get out there and give bikepacking or bike touring a try! It feels almost surreal that we finally finished this journey we started back in 2018. We went from "someday we'll hopefully get to do the GDMBR" to now completing it. Finishing each section felt like a major accomplishment but this one really evokes so many emotions. We had to do it in 3 sections over a 4 year span (no thanks to covid), but it allowed us to experience it now while we can since you never know what the future holds or how much things can change in life.

Ride on!
