I am happy to announce the winner of the 2009 Evolution of Balance Award!
GracieSorbello and Matt Burney (USA) head off in July for a self-supportedride along the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, which extends about4400 km (2750 miles) from Banff, Alberta (Canada) to the Mexicanborder. The route is offroad for 95% of its length, crosses theContinental Divide at least 28 times, and includes over 60,000 m(200,000 feet) of elevation gain. The plan is to take about 3 - 3.5months for the trip, starting early July'09 and hopefully finishingsometime mid-Fall. It's a hugely ambitious trip, but if anyone can doit, they can, given Gracie's distance riding experience on hercoast-to-coast uni trip across the U.S. in 2006. Gracie is alsoreceiving some sponsor support from Panama Jack, Keen Footwear, andRoll bikeshop, and like her trip across the U.S. is hoping to raiseawareness and funds for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
