Tour Divide Diary Day 30 24/07/16 It was only 149 miles to Moab and we got that done pretty early in the morning. There were yet more incredibly straight, incredibly tedious roads to drive, but once we were getting deeper into Utah the scenery started to get more interesting and we were both really excited…

Tour Divide Diary Day 28 22/07/16 In the middle of the night there had been a very short mini hurricane and downpour which had woken us both up, fortunately though the tent was still waterproof and in one piece. I woke up early and decided that the best way to get us to our destination…

Tour Divide Diary Day 27 21/07/16 This was the day of the great escape. We packed the bikes up early and shot down to McDonalds for breakfast. After looking at the previous day’s statistics we really we could get up to a pretty good speed down the rather steep Montana Street. So the plan was…
