Anne, I've been contemplating riding the Great Divide for a couple of years now--time has been the big issue--but I will certainly ride either my Atlantis or my Rawland Drakkar (set up very much like the Atlantis, but fixed gear) when I do. I've extensively ridden both bikes over washboards and singletrack in Arizona, Colorado and, to a lesser extent, Maine. With high volume tires at fairly low pressure the Atlantis handles as well as anything else I could imagine on such terrain. Go for it!
