Tour Divide 2019 Gear List

So, after years of thinking about riding the Tour Divide, our bags are packed and we are ready to ride.

The bikes we are riding are Sonder Bikes Broken Roads on Hope 29er Hoops. Tom's is a small, and mine is a medium.

Both bikes are equipped with Alpkit bikepacking luggage.

Matt Tomlinson from Alpkit came along yesterday and took these great shots of our bikes, and the kit grids below.

I think we've packed cloth wise for some grim weather, which hopefully means that it will be baking hot.
