Tour Divide Workshop
May 7-10, 2026

The BikeTender Studio
A four-day workshop designed primarily for riders preparing for the Tour Divide, though it’s open to anyone interested.
COST $1,500
Limited to 6 riders
to be able to give each person the information and attention the best we can as if it was a one-on-one experience.
A more detailed itinerary will be emailed to you upon signing up.
During this workshop
we will learn and discuss the many aspects of “life on the divide.” Preparing for a 2800 mile race is no easy task. The things riders encounter are typically unforeseen, what they envision is often not what they thought, and what's on the internet can be misleading.
As we discuss scenarios, logistics, simulate practices, and further dial in all the details of the bike set-up we aim to help you with the reality of the Tour Divide.
With the timing of this workshop consider it the final “shake out” ride with just a few more things to do before the Grand Depart!
This is not necessarily a “riding” training camp where the focus will be logging big miles each day although two of those days we will be spending the day on the bike. The focus is on educating and preparing the rider while answering all the questions one might have.
By attending this workshop the rider will gain confidence, learn strategies to consider, and valuable route knowledge to help “set you up for success!”
Whether you are looking to set the record or complete the route within the time cut-off this workshop accommodates all goals and style of riders.
