Erik Schlimmer is the only person to have ridden the 2,740-mile Western States Mountain Bike Route from the top of the United States to the border of Mexico -- from Montana to Arizona. Roughly two-thirds of the route consists of dirt roads and crosses the largest forested plateau in North America, year-round snowfields, grizzly bear habitat, the Grand Tetons and elevations exceeding 11,000 feet -- some of the most wild and beautiful terrain in the United States. He accomplished the ride in 52 days, averaging 53 miles per day.
