Gear focus: Jay Petervary's Arkansas High Route TD3

This July (2020) Jay Petervary completed a solo Fastest Known Time attempt of the Arkensas High Country Race route. He he rode the route distance of 1026 miles. 5 days. 12 hours. 6 minutes. Incredible.
On his way back to Idaho he stopped through Denver and offered to show us the inside and out of how he had his Traildonkey 3.0 set up for the task. Bikepacking and bikepack racing is an infinite rabbit hole of gear and tech, and great choices back up the human effort involved. So sit back and check out what makes Jay's bike go.

Holy cow, that sleep “kit” is insane. Major props for the FKT. I go to school at University of Arkansas so it was super cool seeing him end in Fayetteville! Stay rad. Yew.

Thanks so much for making this video! Inspirational and informative. I've recently spent way too many hours looking for a new adventure bike, recently came across the TD3 and this video is really pushing me in that direction. Again, thanks!

Nice overview, thanks for sharing. That’s one hard core sleep system though - even in warm weather. Not even an inflatable sleep pad.

Hi Jay! I just recently came across your awesome video. Thanks for that. Can you tell me where can I get such a dummy? I haven't found anything suitable on the internet. Thank you very much and best regards

I wonder what model/style those 2 in 1 PedALED gloves are? Anyone?

[@jamiedemden4717]

What electrolyte tablets do you use ?, what about carb replacement do you have tablets for that ?

[@trikleens5674]

Redshift Shockstop stem

Definitely a fan of JP. He's been right about many things over the last few years for sure. Not a big fan of "others". Thanks JP
