In 2017 Colleen rode the inaugural group start of the Baja Divide, a mostly off-road adventure zig zagging down the Baja Peninsula from Tecate to San Jose del Cabo. Seven weeks of sand, gravel, rough jeep tracks, and lots of cactus.
This is a bucket list route that takes riders though an exotic and intoxicating desert landscape. A truly remote and unforgettable experience! Colleen has many very long and super-challenging and remote routes under her belt but this remains one of her favorite routes of all time!
