The Challenge
The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) is the most recognized and important off-pavement cycling route in the United States, if not the world. The route crisscrosses the Continental Divide from north to south starting in Banff, Alberta, Canada and finishing at the US/Mexico border in Antelope Wells, New Mexico. - Full Article by Brett and Mike at Bikepacking.com
Route
The GDMBR is 90% off-road, made up of dirt roads, gravel roads, trails, and some unmaintained tracks. It's considered the world's longest unpaved route system and birthplace of bikepacking.
Terrain
The route is known for its remote location and spectacular scenery, including Flathead Valley in Montana, Grand Teton National Park in Wyoming, and the Gila Wilderness in New Mexico.
Elevation
The GDMBR has over 200,000 feet of elevation gain and loss. A small percentage, estimated to be about 1% is not rideable and requires the infamous "hike-a-bike"

Difficulty
While intermediate off-road mountain biking skills are sufficient, the route is a challenging test of endurance with some sections requiring riders to "hike-a-bike" over rocky chunks. The current official world record at 13 days, 2 hours, and 16 minutes (13:02:16) set by Justinas Leveika this year in 2024.
Development
The GDMBR was developed and mapped by the Adventure Cycling Association in 1997. They continue to maintain detailed route maps and a guidebook.
History
The GDMBR is considered by many to be the birthplace of bikepacking as a sport.
