OK - They cap this puppy at 20 riders, but I happen to know that there are a few spots left. It would be great to have a few friends along. According to the trip organizers (who are Dutch), we have about ten. Here is what Rob emailed me the other day:
We focus on riders from all over the World. On the big expeditions we are normally on the road with about 10 different nationalities. This means a mix of riders from a couple of European countries, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the States. If they still have the energy they make their jokes in English at dinner. And that is also the language for the daily briefings and all other information passed on for the trip.
The group size for The Great Divide will be a maximum of 20 riders, at the moment we are getting close to 10. In the upcoming issues of Adventure Cycling we are going to advertise. So hopefully the word will spread quickly and we will get more cyclists from the USA. So far we got registrations from Holland, Germany, Czech Republic and Australia.
So come and join this crew from all over the world. And you don't have to do the whole thing - here is a breakdown of the segments with dates and costs:
