<p>The Tour Divide is arguably the hardest bike race in the world. It is&nbsp;2745 miles long, (from Banff in Canada to Antelope Wells in New Mexico)&nbsp;entirely off road and contains climbs that total 200,000ft. The race is entirely self supported, meaning that riders must&nbsp;bivvy trailside and&nbsp;manage their own logistics for the duration of the route.</p> <p>I am competing in this event to&nbsp;raise money for The Parachute Regiment Charity whose objective is the relief of need, hardship and distress amongst past and present members of The Parachute Regiment and their dependents.</p>
