On June 9, 2023, Fretboard Journal became a contributor and Kalamazoo girls Author John Thomas embarks on the wildest adventure of his life: bikepacking the 2,700-mile Tour Divide mountain bike route from Banff, Canada to the US-Canada border.

We talk about his latest contribution to the Scott Chinery Blue Guitar collection for the new 52nd th edition of our magazine, discuss John’s health status (he was diagnosed with prostate cancer in 2020), talk about his hopes/fears for the ride and more.
