Jay P Leads Great Divide Race!

OK, This is the most exciting race in the world… I think! 2500 miles, 200k feet of climbing, +/- 16 days, and self supported! That’s right those are very similar to the stats for the Tour De France except the whole self supported thing! The best part is our man Jay Petervary is leading the race with authority in his first attempt at this epic which started Friday June15th. I can’t possibly describe how great it is to follow his progress so I’ll just give you the tools to experience it yourself.

Here’s the latest and greatest on JP, June 27, 9pm:
Got hit today with some hail-had to use his umbrella and hang out under a tree for 45 minutes. Then made it to Cuba, ate good, showered, shaved, cleaned his clothes and is inside with his bike, last night too, so he’s been getting good sleep. Did a little more then 100 miles today, which included a lot of climbing, had 200 ounces of water but didn’t need to drink it all, it was a little cooler today then it has been. Plans to do 200+ miles tomorrow. Is feeling good and staying focused.
