I wasn’t suggesting anything about it. Just wondering if Skinny fancies it now that he’s a mountain biker
PhilDAS-
To be fair tour divide is more a gravel race. Mpuntain bikers would turn their nose up at it being called mountain bike. It's a rigid bike or even monster cross bike.
But yeah, on my list.

Apologies, I didnt intend to dismiss the route or your comment. Its a brilliant route, just for the scenery, remoteness and epic scale. The Americans do overly big it up sometimes without saying how easy the terrain is. Although Lava Mountain, Fleecer and the Polvadera mesa are pretty techy. And you are right, it would be perfect for a rider of Skinnys ability

There are only about 40kms on the whole of the 4,000km divide route that are vaguely technical - nothing really challenging at that!
