Cap the Climax Stagecoach Odyssey:

Renaissance Cyclist - part of the Adventure Harney team - has been quietly piecing together a truly absurd mega-route over the last half-decade. This 900+ mile behemoth also features micro-epic overnight loops designed to be tackled in a weekend so folks can piece together the route over time little by little.

While this project is still ongoing, 95% of the route has been bikepacked thus far and an official inaugural roll-out is tentatively planned for 2021.

Below is an interactive map of Renaissance Cyclists' 2019 scouting expedition for the Cap the Climax full of loads of lovely visuals. If you're interested in riding any portion of this route, feel free to contact us through this site to be put in touch with Renaissance.
