It’s 100 miles to the next gas station, 100 miles from the last one. It’s 100 miles from anywhere, to anywhere.
And it’s the bucket list ride that Lachlan Morton spent years dreaming about.
Starting in Banff, Alberta, Canada and ending 2,671 miles later in Antelope Wells, New Mexico, USA, the divide route is as beautiful as it is rugged, as ambitious as it is empty. During his two weeks on the trail, Lachlan felt more scared, more cold, more capable, and more alive than ever.
Enjoy our latest EF Pro Cycling Explore film, “The Divide,” presented by Wahoo.

What month and date did he start, as no snow in the mountains for the usual race which slows people down? Later on dryer and water is harder to find. Would be great to ride. Thank you

Very interesting to see how the old man in Pie Town thought that if riders wanted their name in the book, then they wouldn’t stop by his place. Lachlan stopped by, visited with him, and that man didn’t know Lachlan was on record pace.

The Great Divide's been a 23-year, still ongoing, project for me -- my (now) wife and I rode from the Canadian Border to Rawlins back in 2000, when we'd known each other for less than 6 months. That was a life-changing trip. In 2015 I rode from Rawlins down to Silverthorne. In 2017 I rode from Silverthorne down to Antelope Wells. This film brought back so many memories (it's amazing how many places were so easily recognizable -- those little rollers into Pie Town! That endless treeless road into Atlantic City! and on and on!), and brought up so many emotions, and inspired the heck outta me to get back on the trail and finish the Canadian section (which didn't even exist when I first rode a section) as soon as I can. Thank you so much for a beautiful effort, and a beautiful film.

I met Lachlan briefly during his”unsupported” TDF ride. A man of few words. A genuinely likeable guy and a great endurance cyclist with a big heart. But this film made me realise he has a lot to learn about survival.

The videographer counted the timing so well in so many shots is really crazy, this made this film look like a movie, and they don't get to retake it! Lachlan has proven the importance of sleep in ultra racing, it affects the mental capability to handle stress, imagine if he's suffering from sleep fatigue while handling those crises (lightning on the mountain, coldness, and mechanical issues). All in all, I can't neglect the point that made this film great is the fact that the director and editor himself is the brother of Lachlan and a cyclist too! He understands the stake and the rider very well, which aids the storytelling. Thank you to all who were involved.

As a long distance cycling traveller, loneliness is one most formidable thing against pedaling. Laclan is definitely lucky to have the filmmaker all the way to the goal line. Love watching the video!!!!

@joseflemire4284 26 күн бұрын

I agree...as a road racer for years on the National prestige circuit etc...then riding much of the world bike touring/ packing...loneliness was the main problem. doing that..but this was relatively short...albeit torture physically because they are racing... but the film crew made it almost impossible to decide to quit...but very enjoyable to watch and Lachlan is one of a kind..a true gun slinger, cowboy, and Indian all rolled into one wild guy

Thank you for making something that can inspire others to ride this amazing route and be changed for it.

@egalegal2058 6 ай бұрын

Great achievement and thanks for the attention you bring to our sport our hobby. I have two equipment questions: A) Had Lachlan not enough warm clothes? Not enough rain gear? Or would more stuff just be heavier and wetter? B) Is electronic shifting worth the risk? If you ride a normal UCI street race with supply cars, sure electronic shifting all the way and if it fails underway you pick a new bike. But on a multi-day-bikepacking-adventure? What is the power and the time saved? What is the comfort won? And what is the possibility it fails during this 2700miles of riding with likely four or more days of rain.

@SuperStudio111 3 ай бұрын

B) is a really good question 😅

@obake_neko Ай бұрын

Thanks for sharing the film. The bike mechanic in Steamboat, CO noted problems with his derailleur 7 days in (36:03). I'd be hesitant to rely on an electronic derailleur for this remote of ride, but then again people ride the AZT on single speeds.

Aside from the "visitation" rule that applies to the rest of tour divide racers, Lachlan did in fact ride the same route that Mike Hall rode to establish the 2016 record. fun fact. The current route that is raced includes some extra credit hiking :) Fantastic film and effort by all.

The divide deserved a film this beautiful centered on a rider this unique and provocative. Unapologetic in its tone, unrelenting in the unfolding of drama. The incredibly diverse personalities that are drawn to this race/itt is what keeps me coming back for more. I like lachy’s honesty most, though style/approach/heart helps a lot. Blown away that he has raised $1m through cycling.
