(Repeated from the previous post.) Welcome home, Matt, and great job! Congratulations to you and all the other racers who are giving it a go (or gave it a go and didn't quite make it this year). When I was out there researching the Great Divide more than a decade ago, I never dreamed that riders would one day be time trialing the thing. You're all awesome. By the way, I just got done with a 2008 revison of the guidebook. Due to a route change around Ovando, Montana--which added three miles to the route--the official Adventure Cycling mileage is now 2,714 miles.
