In 2005, I raced the length of the Great Divide on a single speed mountain bike. Some details of the race can be found here:

The 2005 Great Divide Race Roster (plus some pictures from last year's race).

I was able to race the Great Divide thanks to the generous help from many wonderful people. You can learn more about them by visiting my Sponsor Page

A bunch of the Seattle International Randonneurs organized the "Not A Nutritional Role Model Ride" to help raise funds to help my race efforts. You can see the story and pictures here.
