TOUR DIVIDE TALK WITH JAY PETERVARY
The Great Divide Mountain Bike Route bisects the center to the United States, carving out a roughly 2,700-mile course along the length of the Continental Divide from Canada to Mexico. Seemingly following the mantra of ‘where there’s a route, there’s a race’, each year, riders take on this considerable challenge, competing self-supported to see who can cover its length the fastest in a loosely organized event known as the Tour Divide. We caught up with seven-time participant and this year’s winner, Jay Petervary, to ask him about his experience.

As Jay spends his winter busy, hosting his own ultra-event – Fat Pursuit – along with a couple winter camps, we look forward to seeing him back on the bike throughout next year’s exciting racing season. Congrats, Jay!
