- **Event Description**: 🐎✨ 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.
