What's In A Name?

The Cutthroat name may hint at the ferocity of the competition on the Tour Divide, but the Cutthroat trout is also the state fish for all the U.S. states that the Tour Divide (or Great Divide Mountain Bike Route) passes through. “It was almost too good to be true when we learned that fact and the Cutthroat name became a keeper (pun intended),” says Salsa Content Marketing Manager, Mike ‘Kid’ Riemer.
