Publisher’s Summary
The Tour Divide, a 2,725-mile mountain bike race along the Continental Divide from Banff, Alberta, Canada, to the Mexican border crossing at Antelope Wells, New Mexico, demanded will-breaking efforts day after day, but the race also returned brief moments of euphoria. Most of the time the race felt impossible, and I loved it!
Just Ride is an adventure story of the 2018 Tour Divide. The book details the resilience and amazing adaptability of the human body and mind, and it gives a realistic and often raw account of the physical and mental toll required to finish the race in less than 17 days. The route, the conditions, the gear, the strategy, the training, the mental struggles, the embarrassing moments, and the physical battle are all described throughout a story that offers a genuine look into what was experienced and felt throughout the ultimate test of mountain bike endurance.
In addition, Just Ride summarizes data that was collected before, during, and following the race. The huge amount of collected data tell a story of how the body broke down and how it remarkably adapted to the 2,725-mile ordeal. The book also details how the mind was central to creating and breaking down the barriers that impeded progress each day.

Good learning for endurance athletes
Thanks for the journey and research findings. Almost feel like I road the Tour Divide myself!

The wrap up chapters
The wrap up chapters after the race are the best parts of this book. The author’s objective scientific review of the data is excellent, but his coupling of that data to his emotional roller coaster during the race reveals so many things about how humans can adapt and push through stresses on our bodies & minds. This is worth a second or third read, with the synopsis chapters in mind on subsequent reads

It made me feel like I was right there with the author
I know I can’t be the only one to read or listen to a book and see a movie in their head but tbis is exactly how i felt when listening to the book
-
Informative and inspirational
A captivating look into the experience of riding in a brutally long race. Great insights into the mental and physical requirements, sprinkled with some key learnings from a scientific standpoint, and some adventurous moments, as one would expect from a story recounting a 2,700 plus mile ride in often extreme conditions.
-
Great Listen
Really capture the essence of endurance sports, and I related to some of the content
-
Good story, would recommend
This is well crafted piece that is informative and entertaining, giving an inside glimpse into an obscure event that ought to have more coverage and awareness because it’s kind of amazing and insane. Story would’ve been better without the “bathroom” scenes.
-
Outstanding
Really loved the way this book not only shares the adventure and the story but some insight on the physical, mental and preparation aspects. Great narration as well. Great listen.
-
A must read for anyone doing ultra endurance events
Just Ride is an inspiring book to read/listen to for anyone doing ultra endurance events and especially for anyone who is planning on riding the Tour Divide. Loved it from start to finish.
