2010 Tour Divide grand depart rolls out in a little over 1 hour! This year's blood, sweat and tears are dedicated to the tireless work of folks like FlatheadWild to save the very remote and wild places along the GDMBR such as the Canadian gem, the Flathead Valley. Please support further preservation of the Flathead through the simple process of registering as a 'Friend of the Flathead' here: http://www.flathead.ca/act/friends or simply click on the image below.

New year, new decade.

Incredible things happened on the self-supported MTB racing front in the 2Ks. One can only imagine what the teens will bring. 2020 vision? We can always strive.

TD10 Start List has been open for three weeks, already sports 12 riders, some good LOIs. By grand depart, we could see a peloton as big as last year.

What's new this edition? Not much, but expect rules clarifications regarding friends/family/fan visitation on course and a narrowing of the trail angel/magic definition.

If you're planning to race, good luck with prep, and stay tuned.
