That was Joe Meiser. I met him at a showing of Ride the Divide. Which is a

someone had done this ride on 35mm tires.

Hi Anne
I started about as far north as you could at the time--northern MT.
It was almost all gravel and dirt. The route has now moved further
north and that might be rougher. I'd check the Adventure Cycling
forums too.

I rode the Montana section in 1998 (on a 1996 Voodoo Erzulie with a
front shock) and have talked with others about the more southern
part. Based on my experience in MT I'd do it rigid with as fat tires
as I could fit. It was almost entirely dirt roads with some single
track. As per my post last
The Schwalbe Marthon Extreme comes in a 26 x 2.0 inch version. It would be
