Cordillera: Literature from the World's Toughest Bike Race

The Cordillera is the literary journal of Divide Racing. Between these pages you will find stories of competition, drama and humor that can only come from The Divide: A racecourse stretching from border to border, from desert to mountain and heart to heart. You will ride along with determined athletes as they negotiate snow covered peaks in the Rockies and an alkaline wasteland across the Great Basin. You will meet an artist who questions his own life in New Mexico, a young racer dealing with poor decisions in Montana and a gifted female rider who discovers hidden joy on the Fourth of July. You will be treated to the long and sometimes tragic history of bicycles on The Divide and so much more. These are the stories of The Divide and the people who race there. All proceeds from this volume go to benefit the Adventure Cycling Association.
