New Mexico-Just Pedal: A Woman, A Bike and the Great Divide (Episode 5)

In this episode, I recover from illness in Albuquerque, then return the route in Abiquiu, New Mexico. Illness, dehydration and isolation nearly end the trip early, but I manage to find my resolve once I'm faced with a choice. Stay tuned to the channel for my next video, where I show the gear I used on the trip, including what worked, what I lost, and what I'd change.
If you missed episode 4, where I ride through the remainder of Colorado, you can see that here: • Colorado Highs and Low...
If you'd like to see some of the questions I answered prior to my trip, you can see that here: • Frequently Asked Quest...
Thank you to Tony Hase for providing additional photos and video (and for driving down from Minnesota to pick me up!)

“Trucks on triangles” I love that! My eyes got a little teary hearing the support from your parents and Tony. What an amazing village you have. It’s amazing traveling with you visually but also emotionally. It’s impressive how well you were attuned to your body and needs and how you persevered in the end, no matter where your “finish line” would have turned out to be. It’s an honor to call you friend! I’m in awe all over again!

I really enjoyed this series. So much, in fact, that I grew impatient waiting for this last installment. A foot injury prevented me doing anything intense for awhile, so I did gentle spins on my trainer, following your journey during my recovery. It inspired dreams of what I might do on my bike once I am completely healed. Congratulations on completing your epic, and thanks for putting this series together!

Hey Katrina. Greetings from South Africa. The GDMTBR got picked up by my "radar" a few months back and is now down as one of the next big adventures.

It was great hearing you interviewed recently on Day Fire Podcast as well!

@katrinahase 5 ай бұрын

Thank you! Off the top of my head, I’d say that it’s reasonable to choose to ride one section at a time as an option. If you’re set on riding it all at once, make sure to plan rest days…maybe 1 full day per 6 days of riding. Take time to enjoy beautiful places, you won’t get another chance! Plan as much or as little as you feel comfortable…some people like to know down to the mile where they go each day, some-like me-like to sketch it out a day or more at a time.

@OfficeofSpoofedAffairs 5 ай бұрын

Was days enough? Or if given a chance again, would you do it slower or faster. I was also curious about the bike you chose. The gravel bike over a mountain/adventure bike? I both, so I was curious as to which one to choose for ride like that.

@katrinahase 5 ай бұрын

I rode between 5-8 hrs a day, averaging almost 60 miles a day. For me, and this being my first big tour, that was fast enough. I would like to think I could try for longer days if I were to do it again, but who knows? I would ride a mountain bike if I were to do it again. Mountain bikes have more climbing gears and the shocks would be convenient for often rutted and rocky road surfaces. If you haven’t seen it yet, here’s my gear video: Bike, Bags, Clothes, and Gear to ride the Great Divide from Canada to Mexico. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pOCEjLV5q8_Lias.html
