142. Jay Petervary - Great Divide Ride Unearthed

My Back 40

This week I have a conversation with Jay Petervary about his new project, Great Divide Ride Unearthed.

Jay is planning an ITT of the American Cycling Association's official GD route which starts in Jasper Alberta. The mission:

"To inspire others to use the bicycle to benefit their physical and mental health; to pursue their dreams; to do challenging things; to think outside the box and follow a passion.
I am also riding on behalf of the Be Good Foundation. All donations will be dispersed through the Be Good Foundation to bikepack scholarships and other affiliated bike non-profits."

We chat about gear, the meaning Jay gets from pushing his limits, and what the Great Divide Mountain Bike Route means to him as well as other topics.

I had some hardware issues during this episode but got them ironed out during the chat. Audio quality has always been super important to me, but as Jay put it, "It's raw."
