 "Tour Divide is a solo, self-supported mountain bike race on all 2,745 miles of ACA's epic Great Divide MTB Route. With an average time-to-completion of three weeks in the saddle, this grand tour is the longest, most challenging MTB race on the planet. It's a contest for the ultra-fit but only if ultra-prepared for myriad contingencies of backcountry biking".

 It all depends on how you look at it. I think Trans-Iowa is a pretty cool race. Tour de France is the one I'll watch above all others. It may well be that the Hour Record is really the ultimate bike race though.

Imo, flying Gossamer Albatross was the ultimate cycling event.

Now on Mondays.
