Bikepacking from Banff to Antelope Wells on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route - 2024
This video shows highlights of my bikepacking trip on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) from Banff, Alberta, Canada to Antelope Wells, New Mexico, USA in the summer of 2024.
I rode with my son, from Banff to White Fish. I had planned to ride solo the rest of the way, to the Mexican Border. However, I fortunately shared the remainder of the ride with several fun and interesting people I met along the way.
The route goes through Elkford, Sparwood, Fernie, Eureka, Whitefish, Helena, Butte, Grand Teton National Park, Pinedale, the Great Divide Basin of Wyoming, Rawlins, Steamboat Springs, Breckenridge, Salida, Del Norte, Indiana Pass, Abiquiu, Cuba, Grants, Pie Town, the Gila National Forest, Silver City and Hachita. It passes through the Canadian provinces Alberta and British Columbia, and the US states of Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico.

Car seats in the 50s did not have the same safety standards as today.

Cycling Across the USA - from the Apple State to the Big Apple
มุมมอง 3682 ปีที่แล้ว
This video shows a day-by-day account of two sixty-something guys on a 3500 mile, 50 day ride from the Apple State to the Big Apple. A third cyclist joined in for the New York State part of the trip.
A great addition to the GDMBR is to start in Jasper and ride the Icefields pkwy to Banff. It gives you more time in the Canadian Rockies which are quite spectacular. I rode the GDMBR back in the day and always enjoy these videos so I can do a little reminiscing.
Thanks for the suggestion. I've heard the Icefields pkwy is very scenic. I decided to start in Banff on this ride because my son had limited vacation time and had to catch a train in Whitefish. I also would have liked to do the alternate routes in Canada. Maybe in the future I'll do the Canadian portion again and include the Icefields Pkwy and the alternate routes.
Greet video thanks mate. What time of year did you set off?
Thanks. We started on July 8th. I finished on September 9th. I had 7 days off and a few half days. This was a comfortable touring pace for me and matched well with several other riders so I could have company.
Top video
Thanks
How long did it take you to complete? Did you do it all in one big push?
I took 64 days (57 riding plus 7 resting). This was a good touring pace for me. It allowed enough time to enjoy the sights and people and avoid overuse injuries without keeping me away from home too long. Many go at a faster pace because of time constraints or just a more competitive attitude or higher fitness level.
Thanks for sharing. How many days on this beautiful route?
Thanks for watching. I spent 64 days on this trip, with 57 riding days and 7 rest days. This was a good pace for me and many of the people I rode with, allowing enough time to enjoy more than just the cycling, while avoiding overuse injuries. Some prefer a faster pace because of time limitations or just being younger, stronger or more competitive.
Great video! I recall crossing paths with Continental Divide riders from the Tetons all the way down to Hartsel CO while I was doing the TransAm. We slept behind the bar in Hartsel too. Your trip is truly inspirational. Besides all of the scenery in your video, I thought the toaster house was a nice touch.
good video. could have done without any of the music in the video, but awesome adventure. well done!
Great video! Hopefully you spotted cooler at road just past kremmling on ute pass just before climb, time 22:40 before camping Silverthorne. It would have been on your left with bike decor at road. Love watching these videos of what y'all actually do.
Thanks. I didn't see a cooler on Ute Pass but fortunately brought enough water.
@XPartnershipProgramX I'm trail angel, sometimes I'll comment and have met others I don't rember myself. All good! I dot watch race, meet most GPS out here. Not gonna name drop.
@XPartnershipProgramX thanks again video, very sweet job. I always wonder meeting riders what y'all actually do. I will ride it bike one day from border Canada to home on ride. Not sure when but I'll do it!
@@stevenutepass7671 plan the ride (fun) and go, if you really want it! You’ll never know what the future will bring! You’ll regret when things can’t be done anymore…… I plan to (and will go) next July, take my time… indefinite paid leave, retirement!😜
@mennosolarquest I plan ( bucketlist) on it from the border to my place, tell folks I'm riding home. Next year, definitely stop by or spend night here camping, plenty of space just over 10 acres, it's Cr #3 Utepass MM 14.5 on left going south, top of Utepass is MM 5. TH-cam blind guy biking Chris Smith and I think video is steamboat to Breckenridge you'll see the front gate, cooler & bike decor. If you will have GPS on trackleaders shoot me your info and I'll watch for you coming, have my lady cook you up a meal. Pass the word, open to all bike riders! Cheers!

Nice brother. Just finished the Cascade Sierra route. Good work sir. I subd. I’m the Tectonic Traveller
Thanks. You just got me interested in this route. I might want to put this on my bucket list. I won't have to travel far to the starting point. Any advice?
Wow what a journey! Do you recall how the roads to the trailheads of Hachita Peak or Big Hatchet looked when you were there?
Sorry, but I didn't notice those roads, since I was not planning to hike there.
@@ronaldcohen9445No worries! I suppose those are considered side quests along the CDT. Thanks for sharing your adventure with us!
What a great video. You captured the ride so well. Thanks for the memories.
Thanks
Nice video!👍
