Tour Divide bikers pass through Basin

The 2024 Tour Divide began in mid-June, and covers the 2,745-mile Great Divide Mountain Bike Route from Banff, Alberta, to Antelope Wells, New Mexico. 

Developed by the Adventure Cycling Association in 1998, the “Great Divide Mountain Bike Route” is recognized as the world’s longest off-pavement cycling route. Basin has served as a traditional stopover for cyclists to dine and camp overnight.

Last Thursday, The Monitor observed a trio of cyclists outside of The Silver Saddle.
