    2013 Tour Divide

    Stuff is going to get really smell, that's the deal. Baby wipes can only do so much. Interestingly, I found on AZT that my gear actually smelt pretty good after 3 days in the same knicks. I can make a pair of knicks toxic in a few hours in Oz but due to the ridiculously low humidity over...

    Carbon Hardtail as a touring bicycle?? I've heard its not a viable option but...

    A hell of a lot of carbon hardtails have made it from Banff to Antelope Wells in the Tour Divide in one piece. The style of riding they do in that race sounds much like what you are shooting for. Run what you brung and see what happens, that is part of the adventure ;)
