HUGE THANKS to everyone that came out to support, race, or work The Divide 2025.

197 total bikers! Not our largest year, but the largest since COVID.

Our timing guys are sorting out some issues we had regarding birthdates and age divisions. I'm told results will be posted later today.


* NOTE: Picture as taken while picking up the course. NOT ONE CUP or gel packet was found on the course. Great job bikers and aid station workers!!

Check out Andy's photos ya'll.

2025 AID STATION INFO;

With the elimination of most of Gilbert Corners we are rearranging our aid stations.

15 MILE RIDERS: there will be one aid station @ 8.75 just after you complete your loop and climb the steep hill out of the road that crosses the swamp.

31 & 41 MILE RACES:

The first aid station remains unchanged and is is 10.5 miles into the race on top of El Diablo on N. 35 Rd.

The next will be at 19.5 miles into the race which is a new location for an aid station. It is also on N. 35 Rd, but on the other side of the Outer Loop, just before the extended downhill segment called Lickity Split.

For those in the 41 mile race, you'll pass the same two aid stations on your second lap of the Outer Loop @ 22.5 miles & 31 miles.

AID STATIONS will have ice cold water, gatorade, freeze pops, pickles, and baggies of ice. Your food is up to you to carry.

I'd like to thank a sponsor that has been with us from the beginning; NELSON TREE FARMS.

For the past 11 years, they given us the cedar logs that our trophies and medals are made from as well as working the corner of the race just after the Amish Sawmill.

In honor of this dedication we're creating a new Strava Segment called "Nelson's Speed Trap." It's the first 3.25 miles out from the start.

FYI: The segment ends well before the corner. We'll be using Strava results and looking for fastest male and fastest female. Winners will be pulled up on the podium to receive a trophy.

2025 COURSE UPDATE v2.0
Due to extreme washouts have had to eliminate the Gilbert Corners section of The Divide this year.

Following the recent rain storm, an inspection found that section is not safe for a race.

As someone who has always appreciated the challenges of this section, I regret having to take this step.

As a result of this change, the race distances have been revised as follows:

- 19 Mile is now 15
https://www.strava.com/routes/3381229832726343592

- 34 Mile is now 30
https://www.strava.com/routes/3380592759735336944

- 50 Mile is now 41
