Re: Lachlan Morton on the great divide
Whats the difference between the Great Divide & the Tour Divide?? I can see that they follow a similar route & finish at the same place(?), but they're a different overall distance? different organisers promoting it ? I thought one us only. Maybe wrong... [Edit :] Kinda different organisers...
