Another #drinkLocal with #greatDivide Yeti
Big-bodied, heavy roasted malts and coffee lead to a 72IBU finish. Tasty, awesome to get this close to the source.

The #GreatDivide #MountainBikeRoute
The “Divide” is a legendary bike route spanning nearly 2,700 miles on mostly dirt roads,
crossing New Mexico, Colorado, Wyoming, and Montana before entering Canada.As far as extended tours go, it falls in the middle of difficulty and remoteness.
It’s not easy, but most of the riding isn’t technical and you share much of the route with off-road vehicles, hopscotching between towns every few days.Prepare adequately and the risks will be nothing experienced backcountry travelers haven’t previously encountered.
Manage water, watch out for rattlesnakes and bears, try not to fall off your bike.
A few friends had completed the route the year prior, both regularly riding 90 miles each day.
They recounted their trips casually
—one broken chain, a few grueling passes, some Achilles issues.On paper, the logistics were also easier than my thru-hikes;
the only moderate concern was our compressed timeline. Matt had to be back for late-summer guide work, but if we averaged 70 miles per day, we’d have time for rest days and any mechanical issues.https://longreads.com/2024/08/15/danger-mountain-biking-maggie-slepian/

#Olympics. On current viewing another example of the #GreatDivide I know it's mainly the #Swimming but across the board a preponderance of white, affluent looking faces. My #Sociology informs my opinion that many are the result of #Elitist nurturing. #Haves & #HaveNots anyone?

Also seen on that lake, #BigYeti from #greatDivide is a massive barrel aged stout.
Don’t let the can fool you - rich texture, caramel, chocolate, coffee with sweet notes all around. Yum!
