The Ride

A first. And you're early.

Nobody runs a guided, hotel-based Continental Divide motorcycle tour in the United States. In the summer of 2027, we will.

Ride The Divide is the full American segment of the Continental Divide Ride - every backcountry section chained end to end from the Mexican border at Antelope Wells, New Mexico to the Canadian line at Roosville, Montana. Roughly 2,500 miles, five states, and the high ground of the continent, all northbound with the summer sun.

This is not a camping trip and it is not a survive-on-granola-bar adventure. You get a real bed and a hot meal every single night. The chase truck carries your luggage, spare parts, tires, water, and auxiliary fuel, and meets the group at each night's hotel. You ride; the logistics disappear.

I led Adventure Cycling's 65-day Epic Great Divide by bicycle in 2026. I've been on every kind of line this route has - and this motorcycle version is the trip I wanted to exist when I went looking for it.

The Route

The whole Divide. Nothing skipped.

Two dozen backcountry sections, linked end to end - the classic Divide corridor ridden on two motorized wheels. Days run 123 to 238 miles with a hard 220-mile planning cap, so every high pass is behind you before the afternoon lightning.

Days 1-6

The Borderlands

Antelope Wells - the remotest border crossing in America - then north through the Gila and Cibola national forests. Pie Town for pie. The San Juans at 11,900 feet, crossed before the monsoon builds.

Days 7-11

The High Desert

Wyoming's Red Desert and the Wind River Range - the longest, loneliest stretches of the route. A rest day in Salida keeps the group fresh. The longest stretch between fuel stops runs 155 miles - plan your tank accordingly.

Days 12-15

The Yellowstone Side

Island Park rest day, then Yellowstone's quiet east side and the Beartooths. Fleecer Ridge - the route's famous spite hill - or the paved bypass around it, your call that morning.

Day 16

The Line at Roosville

The Seeley-Swan valley and the last northbound miles to the Canadian border. One group photo at the sign, and you've ridden the entire American Divide.

The Format

You ride. We carry the rest.

6 Riders

Small On Purpose

Six clients, a professional ride leader, and a dedicated chase-truck driver. Small enough that dinner is one table and nobody waits for a straggler - big enough to have real support.

100% Hotel Nights

Bed, Meal, Fuel - Included

Booked lodging every night, meals and fuel built into the trip - one price, no surprises. Your bike trucks in with the support rig; satellite mesh comms, and a chase truck that's there for emergencies - every rider should be able to complete every mile under their own throttle.

500cc or Less

Right-Sized Bikes

You don't need a 1,200cc adventure bike to ride the Divide. Bring your 500cc-or-less dual-sport - a demo-fleet ride-it option is in the works for riders who'd rather fly in and saddle ours.

Six bikes. One spine.

Pricing is being finalized for the all-inclusive format, and the inaugural departure will be priced and released to my interest list first - before any public listing. If the Divide has been on your list, this is the cheap way in: get on the list, see it first.
