Type1Rider The Film

A man with Type 1 diabetes leaves everything behind to bike the longest, most dangerous, unsanctioned mountain bike route on the planet.  After more than three years of training and a near death first attempt, he will bike 2800 miles, alone and unsupported for 30 days, from Canada to Mexico along the Great Divide through savage terrain -- snow, wind, impossible climbs, altitude, deserts, and grizzly country.  His insulin-dependency creates life-challenging situations, but he will stop at nothing to prove that people with diabetes can live a life without limitations.

The Long Cut

A home brew message inspired by all those who reached out after my fall & near drowning during the 2011 Tour Divide.  Dedicated to each and every individual, family member, or loved one who has no choice but to get up everyday and deal with diabetes.
