CannonTracks - Great Divide Ride

Thanks amigo - dunno if you remember, but we met on the ride in 2010. We passed going opposite ways in the mud somewhere between Como and Hartsel, CO. If I remember correctly your GPS was possessed.

It's quite a pretty section, and both of the campgrounds along the road are nice and not very busy. Lowlands in particular is noted for lots of wildlife in the area (non-bear type). Here's a screenshot of that section in case it helps.

I already created it and got it 99% right but your screenshot helped me--I guessed that you took the Bluebird Trail out of Butte, but going up Orofino Gulch makes better sense. Here it is.

Cannonshot - WOW your ride reports are indeed amazing!

I've been planning a trip to Wyoming this summer, been trying to sort out possible routes etc. (you commented on a thread I started on that topic a while ago)

Reading this ride report has made up my mind. My wife and I will ride your track from up near the Tetons, south to Rawlins, perhaps down to near the Colorado boarder, then over to Laramie to see my son for a few days. Not much of the dirt stuff compared to the whole GDR, but its what our schedule will allow. Being able to relate your pictures to the map makes all the difference!

Thanks!

anybody know the difference in route between this and cannonshots on gps exchange?

Oops typo. I think those are countdowns. Ur names r took damn close. Haha. Thanks. Do you know how your vary from his?

FWIW - I used Cannonshot's tracks to ride a portion of the CDR last month (Wyoming and into Northern Colorado as far as Steamboat Lake). They were spot on, and the other bits of info like campground locations etc. were handy.

I did supplement them by having the American Cycling Association's Great Divide Ride hard copy maps with me. They were handy to have, and would be a great back up in case the GPS failed (which, fortunately, mine did not.)

Just use Cannonshot's as they are the best evarrr. Never got lost the entire ride. Do your homework too so you get familiar with where you are going.

Just finished a run from west of Taos to the Wyoming border using Cannonshot's tracks. One soaking wet day on the southern end followed by three beautiful September days for the remainder of the trip. Time well spent. Thanks for the effort in assembling the route!

Are these tracks still available?

It looks like they are - see the link in the very first post? - takes you to the tracks. FWIW - I used them this past summer to ride from Moran Junction Wyoming down to Steamboat Lake . They were spot on for me. I plan to use them to ride from Banff down to Moran Junction this coming summer.

Tried it and got a 404.

Can you send me the file?

Best fucking tracks in existence. There is now a Hapton Inn in Pinedale for at least some upscale lodging.
