Tour Divide Planning Aids
Welcome to The Project’s Planning Aids, designed to bridge the gap left by the lack of high-quality planning tools within bikepacking. As a Triple Crown thru-hiker, I’m accustomed to comprehensive planning resources, and I noticed that bikepacking needed similar quality tools. That’s why I developed these resources to make your Tour Divide adventure as smooth and well-prepared as possible.
Our planning aids include four distinct styles to help you plan your ride. The Data Sheet offers the most detailed information, including distance, elevation changes, average grade, and notes on key points between locations, along with references to ACA maps, bike shops, and resupply options. The Town List provides cumulative distances between points of interest, making it easy to see how far you are from various locations without calculating it yourself. The Mileage Chart and Elevation Gain Chart are simple graphs showing cumulative mileage and elevation gain between key points along the route. Each tool serves a unique purpose to support your planning and navigation.
Explore our offerings to find the perfect combination for your needs and get ready to conquer the Tour Divide! Don’t forget to checkout our online Tour Divide Resources as well.

Differences Between the Data Sheet and Town List
The Data Sheet provides the most comprehensive information, including details on distance, elevation changes (both gain and loss), average grade, and maximum/minimum elevations. It also highlights pavement sections, references ACA maps, and lists bike shops and resupply options. Additionally, it includes key notes on the segments between two points of interest (e.g., from A to B, then B to C).
In contrast, the Town List focuses on cumulative distances between points of interest, helping you quickly determine how far you are from various locations without needing to calculate it yourself. It includes distance, elevation changes, resupply options, bike shops, and key notes for each segment.
