Danny Twilley

Program Title:

Mountain Biking the Continental Divide Trail

Description:

The program will be a combination slide show and discussion of Danny’s 1,800 mile mountain bike trip down the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route which travels along the Continental Divide.  Danny spent 6 ½ weeks covering the distance, self-supported, and at times had to carry his bike for several miles. Between the overzealous cows and the determined mosquitoes the journey was filled with laughter and gorgeous scenery.
