The Great Divide is America's premier long distance mountain bike route. It is the longest unbroken mountain bike route in the world and was included in National Geographic's list of the 50 most amazing places on earth. The route makes its way 2500 miles from Canada to Mexico as it crisscrosses the Continental Divide. Metcalfe and his riding buddy JK are mountain bikers, and Dividing the Great is the hilarious account of their journey as they attempt to complete the route in their own record time. "A thoroughly enjoyable, fast and funny read. Metcalfe's dry sense of humor, unflinching introspection, and keen observations of American culture and human nature draw you in."
