      • Fast forward through the rest of WY and CO - New Mexico! I'm at a Continental Divide crossing (no snow anymore!) holding my pedal that had broken off its spindle. I found some bailing wire on the road, and used it to lash the pedal in place onto the bottom of my shoe. I would then insert the pedal into its spindle that was still attached to the crank whenever I wanted to pedal. My Tour Divide ended soon after this, after I crashed out, due partly to gear destruction; partly to a month of severe physical strain.2011 Tour Divide Photos
