Rich and Tom Seipp Pre-Tour Divide ride

By MiniPips

Rich and Tom Seipp embark on a pre-Tour Divide ride, where every pedal stroke brings them closer to the ultimate challenge.

So, after years of thinking about riding the Tour Divide, our bags are packed and we are ready to ride.

The bikes we are riding are Sonder Bikes Broken Roads on Hope 29er Hoops. Tom's is a small, and mine is a medium.
Both bikes are equipped withAlpkit bikepacking luggage.
Matt Tomlinson from Alpkit came along yesterday and took these great shots of our bikes, and the kit grids below.
I think we've packed cloth wise for some grim weather, which hopefully means that it will be baking hot.
