Rani & Bob Merz - Great Divide Extravaganza
Advertisement
🐎✨ She didn’t ride it… she drove it.
Most people tackle the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route on a bike.
Rani Merz did it with a horse… and a wagon.
From New Mexico to Canada—2,700+ miles—through mountains, forests, and wide-open country, Rani and her Icelandic horse Chirpa pulled a covered wagon across one of the most rugged routes in North America.
Not fast.
Not easy.
But unforgettable.
This is the kind of story that makes you sit up a little straighter and think…
“Could I ever do something like that?”
🎤 Join us for a special evening with Rani Merz and husband Bob.
Hear the real story behind the journey—
the challenges, the moments, the partnership with her horse, her support team - husband Bob, and what it takes to actually live an adventure like this.
