Alaska to Argentina | Episode 5 | Entering the Sonoran Desert - GDMBR (Part 3)

In this video I finish out the Great Divide Mountain Biking Route. The farther south I rode, the more scarce the trees became until they were only found on top of the highest mountain ranges. Below, the environment became much more alien (to me). Harsh sun, lack of shade and water, and abundant thorns made for a challenging ride. The biggest change, for me, was probably the lack of other riders I encountered in New Mexico. I rode most of end of the trail in solitude which made for some creepy stays at seemingly abandoned hiker/biker accommodation. At Hachita, the last town on the route, I left the GDMBR and headed west towards the start of the Baja Peninsula. Along the way I crossed the Chiricahua Mountains, stopped in Tucson for a three week hiatus, and finally crossed the Colorado River into California. From there it was just a matter of crossing California's desert and mountains to reach San Diego. From there, I am preparing to leave the United States and enter Mexico where new challenges await.

I'm from Seattle and I'm just starting my first intercontinental bicycle tour. The goal is to ride from Deadhorse, Alaska to Ushuaia, Argentina in one go. I also want to ride some bikepacking routes including the Great Divide Route through the Rocky Mountains and the Peru and Ecuador Divides through the Andes. For this trip I built my own bike using a custom frame in order to be able to withstand rough mountain roads as well as power through long distances on pavement. (I had never built a bike before so we'll see if it holds up.)

I'm editing these videos on the road, so releases my be infrequent as I try to find a quiet place to edit.
