From editor Eric A. Bruntjen:

The Cordillera Volume 2 is finished and available for purchase. The Cordillera is an anthology of Great Divide Mountain Bike Route art, literature and poetry, featuring work by Jon Billman (Outside Magazine), Paul Howard (Two Wheels on my Wagon / Eat, Sleep, Ride), Dan Koeppell (New York Times), Eddie Clark (Mountain Flyer) and many others. We also have pictures from Aaron Teasdale and original artwork by Trevor Browne in this year’s book.

We have a great story and interview of Kurt Refsnider that details the incredible discovery he made on Baffin Island of the bikes and gear left by Divide bicycling pioneers Mike and Dan Moe. It’s a story that you’ll never forget and there’s more information about it in the Cordillera than anywhere else.

The Cordillera is a non-profit effort. All proceeds benefit worthy bikepacking causes and last year we raised over $1,000 for Adventure Cycling Association. This year all proceeds go directly to the college savings plan for Linnaea Blumenthal. Linnaea is the 4-year-old daughter of Dave Blumenthal who died after a crash in the 2010 Tour Divide race. Purchasing a copy of the Cordillera is a great and tangible way for the bike-packing community to show support for a fallen racer’s daughter.

If you are making a run down the Divide this year please consider buying a copy and recommending it to your friends/family as well. There’s no better way to vicariously race the Divide than through the Cordillera. It would make a terrific gift.

The Cordillera will be available on Amazon.com next month but if you purchase it directly from the printer you’ll get it in a few days and twice as much money will be donated to Linnaea’s college fund. Click here.
