So. Said parts did not arrive when we expected them, which rearranged out timetable, and basically ran us out of time. I left Albuquerque quite sad, and quite alone, but determined to continue riding the Continental Divide. After changing a flat front tire, I headed out in the afternoon and picked

Motorcycle Ride the Continental Divide (Riding the Divide)-ABQ
I’m about a week behind in my story now… And a week is precisely how long we waited in Albuquerque for another part, this time the diode board for the GSPD. Actually, we got that ordered the same day we returned home, Friday. The part came in on Monday, yet once it was installed we

Motorcycle Ride the Continental Divide (Riding the Divide)-GSPD blues (or, more properly titled, back to ABQ)
Thirteen miles north of Grants, the paved road turns to dirt and were back in business. It’s around 6 pm, and we decide to start looking for a camp site. We rode up a rocky forest trail to where the land leveled out just over 9000 ft, and set up camp.

Motorcycle Ride the Continental Divide (Riding the Divide)-Pie Town
We get up early to beat the heat, and we ride ~160 miles of pavement to get back to Old Horse Springs. We gas up in the same spot where we broke down, hang a right on a dirt road, and make our way forty miles or so up to Pie Town.

Motorcycle Ride the Continental Divide (Riding the Divide)-GSPD in ABQ
Clark, my riding buddy, lives in Albuquerque, so in the morning we have the GSPD towed again back to his place. He has a garage there with all sorts of tools, and it was a convenient place for me to hang out while we waited for the new relays to come in the following day.

Motorcycle Ride the Continental Divide (Riding the Divide)-GSPD Blues
We awoke to free range cows grazing near the camp site. It took a while to pack up, but we weren’t feeling any particular hurry. It was a lovely morning and we were in the Gila mountains…and ready to explore. The first bit was through the forest, then along a stream bed that alternated being

Motorcycle Ride the Continental Divide (Riding the Divide)-Video
Here’s a video I shot while having an incredible riding day through the Gilas…we wound in and out of this stream bed for several miles. It felt great to be on such a capable motorcycle (my 2006 KTM 950 Adventure of course) 🙂 Motorcycle Riding the Continental Divide – Gila Mountains

Motorcycle Ride the Continental Divide (Riding the Divide)-Gilas
Made it to Antelope Wells Aug 5th. Then we started riding North. [Alisa has a small meltdown in Lordsburg over the mysterious workings of her new GPS, and then the trip continues. ] We finally start riding our first bit of dirt, and it throws us a loop within the first mile: thin

Motorcycle Ride the Continental Divide (Riding the Divide)
August 4th I rode with my travel partner GSPDman to Antelope wells, where we began our Continental Divide Ride (CDR _or_ CDT for Continental Divide Trail). In 2013 I plan to start leading motorcycle tours on the Continental Divide , so this run from South to North will be a scouting tour.
