Tour Divide Mountain Bike Race
By afternoon, I had reached the base of KoKo's Claim. This section of trail was new to the Tour Divide this year. A bridge had been washed away during the 2016-2017 record breaking winter, meaning the old route would have been too dangerous to attempt (it would have been necessary to ford a big river).

2019 Tour Divide
The Canadian section of the Tour Divide differs slightly from the official Great Divide Mountain Bike Route (GDMBR) published by the Adventure Cycling Association. Unique to the Tour Divide race route is the the hike up to Koko Claims which is not on the GDMBR. To get to Koko Claims we took a trail called Crossing Creek over a mountain from ...

Tour Divide Day 1
In this series of short recaps, I'll describe my experience as a rookie racing in the Tour Divide. Day 1 - Banff, Alberta to Koko Pass. Travel to Calgary with my family was relatively uneventful.

Tour Divide 2022 plus home via Uvalde and Santa Fe
The strenuous koko claims hike-a-bike followed by snow mud hike-a-bike on the descent took a lot out of me. And with it getting cold and starting to rain hard, I decided to stop early at the Snow Valley Lodge in Fernie giving out hot free food and a 40% discount to racers for lodging. ... 122.9 mi - 2,999 ft - 12h 27m - Finishing the Tour ...
Any tips for the Canadian portion of the Great Divide?
The Koko claims redirect for the tour attracts me on a map but I'm really not sure i see the ROI for the massive push. I think you could also use FSR's largely parallel to hwy 3 towards the crows nest then make your way on the hwy and other roads to 40 and highroad pass back towards Banff greatly shortening your shuttle.
Touring the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route vs. Racing the Tour Divide
Muddy road. Racing: When I signed up for the Tour Divide, I agreed to abide by the rules of the race. There aren't many, but the gist is that you agree to follow the entirety of the route in a solo self-supported fashion. With so much rain this year, making a turn onto a road I knew would be a sloppy mess when there was a perfectly good paved road that parallels the route was a bummer at times.

Gagarin Cup Preview: Atlant vs. Salavat Yulaev
Much like the Elitserien Finals, we have a bit of an offense vs. defense match-up in this league Final. While Ufa let their star top line of Alexander Radulov, Patrick Thoresen and Igor Grigorenko loose on the KHL's Western Conference, Mytischi played a more conservative style, relying on veterans such as former NHLers Jan Bulis, Oleg Petrov, and Jaroslav Obsut.

The Unique Burial of a Child of Early Scythian Time at the Cemetery of
Burial 5 was the most unique, it was found in a coffin made of a larch trunk, with a tightly closed lid. Due to the preservative properties of larch and lack of air access, the coffin contained a well-preserved mummy of a child with an accompanying set of grave goods. The interred individual retained the skin on his face and had a leather ...
