Carrie Barton details her 10-day dual sport ride on the Tour of Idaho.
Imagine a 10 day, 1500-mile ride dominated by single track. Now imagine having to navigate the entire way without missing a beat. Better yet, picture yourself not really knowing what is going to be in store.
This is precisely the situation Carrie found herself in, August of 2019 when she became the first woman to officially complete the Tour of Idaho (TOI).
She had an idea of what to expect. But Idaho threw everything at her and her riding partners.
Tons of amazing single track. Long, grueling days. Scorching heat & chilling cold.
Water crossings. Incidents with bear spray. Critical navigation.
But what drove Carrie to take on such a big challenge? How long did it take her to prepare for the TOI and would she do it again? You’ll have to listen to catch all of the details.
