So I decided to blog my whole Divide day by day while I was working on my photos

Long term plan is to go back to this - edit it - then combine it into a short publication. That will be a month or so off.

All of these were written in one sitting, with no editing to the words after I'd typed them (puke draft), so it can feel a bit raw in placed. But that was what I wanted, not a glossy happy shiny BS write up about how I found myself. The truth is far more interesting.

Enjoy.

I've been reading them as you've been publishing them. Great read and a nice, honest approach. Good job!

Cheers for that Insight into your tour divide. About half way so far and loving it

*nods*

Impressive food gorging. Have another.

I've just finished all of them. Really enjoyed your account Greg thanks for writing that all up.

You're welcome Dave - still debating if I should edit to make less...well, sweary or not.

Great read, I've also just sat and read them all much to my girlfriends annoyance as the dishes still aren't done!

Thanks for the write up, I've just read all the posts over the evening and it was like a book i couldn't put down!

Again, well done for finishing.

Excellent honest write up....took me most of the afternoon/evening
To read it all, as to which wifey was most impressed

just read that in one go, joys of being off work. brilliant read that Greg. proper enjoyed it.

You're all welcome :)

Thanks for posting. An excellent read.

Personally, i would say don't edit it, as it reads so well as is.

Enjoyed that. An epic read of an epic ride. Keeping going when it gets really tough is a true ahow of mental strength - well done fella!
