Such an honor to have ridden with you when we did. Rob too. And Rob…unfinished business awaits you on the next section of trail when the time is right. So glad you got out of this trip what you needed Rob! Cheers mates! Life’s a Journey, so Ride On

    Best of luck! I am wondering about the math, though. Tour Divide is actually about 2750 miles. You say you're about 1600 in. That would be about 1150 left to go.

I support any decision you’d make at this point, but I know you can do this. I KNOW you got this. I’m so looking forward to seeing you lift that bike aloft in front of the border sign at Antelope Wells.
