153 ~ Chris Burkard, Tour Divide 2023

Chris Burkard is a well known photographer and storyteller who has brought his passion for life and his dedication to be successful to the endurance cycling world.  The results are hard to argue with.  In 2019 he set a world record of the WOW Cyclothon in Iceland traveling 844 miles in 52h 36m 19s.  He then put together a team and did the first ever interior travers of Iceland on the bike.  This time Chris entered arguably the hardest cycling race in the world, the Tour Divide.   For a full write up and a Gallery of images Patrick took of Chris' Tour Divide finish please visit www.BikesorDeath.com.
