"Inspired by Joan"

JULIAN'S

GREAT DIVIDE RIDE

-2024-

MY PURPOSE

This July, I am taking on a new adventure, riding the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route, a 2,700-mile journey that starts in Banff, Alberta, and winds its way down to the US-Mexico border in Antelope Wells, New Mexico. My goal is to complete this ride in 30 days, conquering rugged terrain and crisscrossing the Continental Divide.

This challenge is deeply personal for me. I am inspired by my mother, Joan, and how dementia has impacted her life. Witnessing her journey has profoundly impacted me, and I want to honor her by raising funds for the Alzheimer's Society of Canada.

THE BIKE

"I worked with Corey, the owner of Kruch High Performance Bicycles in Calgary, AB to design and build a custom hard tail chromoly steel bike frame and build specifically for the demands of this adventure on the Great Divide Mountain Bike Trail.

It was an awesome experience and collaboration." - Julian
