Interested to find out who's going to be lining up for the Tour Divide this summer? Myself and couple of other guys have our flights booked and names down. Or anyone racing the GDR?

PM me on MTBR (mechengsteve) if you want to get in touch.

Looks like a really good UK bunch this year judging by the [url= http://tourdivide.org/2009_start_list ]Provisional Start List[/url]

I hope the excellent coverage on MTB Cast continues. I'll be doing a Paypal donation as soon as that starts going.

Steve, this is your second race, isn't it? Going back for more pain, big respect! Good luck to you and all the other Divide racers 🙂

Good luck to all involved!

Photos from the start: [url= http://picasaweb.google.com/marniplesko/TourDivide2009Start# ]http://picasaweb.google.com/marniplesko/TourDivide2009Start#[/url]

[url= http://picasaweb.google.com/marniplesko/TourDivide2009Start#5347253112904550786 ]Chris Plesko looks amazingly lightly packed[/url]; like he's out for a day ride! You can tell who's done it before, and who the fast guys are, from how little they look like they're carrying.

It's been done rigid SS before, including by a girl 😉
