A friend's brother is riding the great divide mountain bike route at the moment and he's producing videos as he goes.
Its a great watch if you are dreaming of a big adventure, particularly as he's a normal older bloke who has put in a massive effort to lose weight and get fit enough to make his dream come true.
He's also raising money for cancer research too

Will have a watch later, would love to try it but you know, bears!!!
Just watched it. Really nice video. I have subscribed to Robin's channel and looking forward to the next instalment.
Nice, riding the Divide route is something on my bucket list but likely something I'll never get fit or organised enough to do, maybe this will inspire me...
What a lovely watch that was! Nicely paced, nice mix of content. Great stuff. Really inspiring!
I have a couple of friends riding it at the moment too, they're about a month in (planning to take ~2 months total) and seem to be having mostly a good time! Of course the occasional very tough/rubbish day but that's all part of the experience. They've been really blown away by how welcoming and helpful everyone is along the way, both other riders sharing camp supplies/food and locals.
