It ain't all roses, that's for sure - but positivity and smiles are part of the recipe for JayP's seventh completion of the Divide. Hoot!

Thank you Allan and Jay for giving us an insight of the race, that was beyond tough! 276 km average per day is torture, you have to be prepared physically and mentally.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Omare :) yep... those fast folks are pretty dang inspiring!!
Unbelievable! You are so awesome. Congratulations.
Such an excellent documentary. Congratulations on the win this year, Jay! Also, congratulations to everyone who took on the challenge and finished or not. This video was super inspiring to say the least. This video captures the very essence of self-supported long distance bike racing! Well done, gentlemen!
Henry, thanks for watching and your kind comments! They are much appreciated, since our goal was to keep it raw... ride on!
Thoughtful comments Henry! This video was a great glimpse into the ride, Alan and Jay did a great job with their other videos leading up to this final one! Honestly even though I was well aware of the outcome I was caught off guard about how inspiring this was. Wow.
Thanks JayP for recording during your race and thanks Jay for putting this together. So awesome to see the race from the perspective of the leader. Really enjoyed!
Glad you enjoyed, the video, Corrine!
Thanks to both of you for putting this together. This is the route I one day plan to ride...at a slightly more casual pace.
Thanks for watching, PuffinPass... stoked for you to ride the divide route... it's so special and no matter what pace, you'll have an amazing adventure and sense of accomplishment!
Alan yet another inspirational video. Love the way JP always seems so motivated. Big thanks to him for letting us sit inside the go pro and you for putting this all together. 👏🙌
Thanks Robin - Jay really is a great sport... I don't know many other "fast folks" that would gladly carry a gopro, extra batteries, cards, charger, etc --- ride on!
I don't have words for describing what I see when I see it.. I just know it when I'm looking at it.... Mental Toughness! Straight up legendary accomplishment!! Well done Jay P for taking the time to record that and for Alan to share it with us! I'm better for watching that! Just punch me if I ever complain about anything on a ride!
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it!
This footage is GOLD. Can't imagine any extra effort to film while doing the CTD, but every second is high value for expectant racers. It's stunning to consider the effort both physical and psychological it took to do the Jay (and the other racers I"m sure) did!!
Yeah, hopefully more high level racers see what Jay did with the gopro and start self-documenting... ride on!
Thank you Alan, and Jay, for such inspiration to ride bikes and give back.
Thanks for watching, Bob - ride on!!
Wow what an amazing video! Have really enjoyed watching Jay's career over the last several years. I love his attitude and how you can just feel that he has such long history of experience with the TD route. The way you brought us in first hand to his mtb cast call in was a really great touch. This was a really good one Alan, thanks so much.
Shane, thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed - I really had a blast sifting'/editing all the footage too... hope to do more of this in the future... but I'm not sure how many "fast folks" would agree to it... JayP is a great sport for carrying the camera, batteries, charger, cards, etc...
Absolutely amazing content! Loved Jay’s point of view and willingness to share the high points and low points. And great job Alan for putting this together. Your bikepacking content is excellent.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Roger!
Hat's off to him. Amazing journey, the inner strength to get up and get on the bike again, incredible. Just happened to stumble upon this race and congratulations to all that entered, absolute legends 🙏🙏
Thanks for watching and commenting, Seamus - ride on!
Your videos made me buy a Salsa Cutthroat. And I love it. 👍💪🚴♀️
Glad you’re enjoying your cutty! I still ride mine all the time 🤙
Great documentary and thanks for giving Jay the Go Pro and for his efforts not just doing the race, but for documenting it and of course, your as always great editing.
Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed!
Really fine editing that delivers a compelling story. Chapeau!
Thanks, Andrew - much appreciated :) Ride on!
I honestly cant believe how great that was to watch. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed, Vermont Hills!
Massive kudos Jay! Outstanding effort. The Toaster House looked awesome! Thanks for sharing this with us Alan.
Dave, thanks for watching... glad Jay agreed to do it and take us along! I love when Brendan rolls up, and they just shoot the breeze for a while!! hahaa!
Very well done, Jay and Allan. Thanks for the inside look!
Glad you enjoyed the video, Brian!
I am off to ride the French Divide starting tomorrow, (we are not allowed into the States yet) Anyway I was sitting here full of trepidation but after watching the kind of suffering that JayP goes though things have been put back into perspective. Great stuff as ever DT.
Best of luck on the French Divide, Lee! Have a fantastic journey :)
Thanks for sharing!
You bet! Thanks for watching, Owen :)
Really cool raw feedback from the route. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and commenting, Sean - much appreciated :)
Awesome video Alan! After watching the others in this series and your post race Q&A with Jay and Brendan, I was still surprised by the first person perspective of Jay’s and seeing how close he and Brendan were toward the end. Super cool!
Glad you enjoyed, David! I hope more "fast" racers start self-documenting... always compelling :) Ride on!
Great video and super well done guys
Thanks for watching 🤙🤙
Amazing and thanks….more like this cheers-time for a 🍻
Thanks for watching... now if only more of the fast folks would agree to carrying a gopro, batteries, charger, cards, etc... and trust me to share their stories... Jay is a great sport!
Chapeau Alan for putting this video on and Chapeau Jay a nice insight of your race.
Thanks for watching, Stephen!! Ride on!!
that was sick~!
Awesome video Alan, keep them coming!
Thanks, Scott! Ride on :)
amazing. glad to find this albeit a year and half late!!!! thank you for posting this. not sure I have what it takes - many of these choices of rest and strategy would take a team for me. maybe everyone experiences this doubt. AMAZING. Adventure Cycling Rocks. home base here in Montana!
Greg, you definitely have it in ya! Don't let it get too overwhelming. Ride, eat, sleep, repeat :)
Jay is a true sensei. Thanks for publishing this video...Someday I'd love to hear more about why New Mexico is the toughest leg of the Tour Divide.
When traveling south its thenlast state. So in one's mind you *think you are almost done. You're not. The roads are rough. The mountains are still mountains. The water supply gets less. The heat picks up. The Gila is a$$ kicker. That is why it is the hardest state IMO.
I second what Jay said... hot hot heat... fatigue... and it's a big friggin state!!!
You guys!!! Thanks Allen. Another great video. JP... still an inspiration. Brendan... well done my friend.
Thanks for watching, Phil... those guys are truly class acts... :)
Great Docu…thanks Jaco n Jay
Thanks for watching KC - ps when we gonna do a video "camp brekky with KC"?
This was AMAZING !!!!
Glad you enjoyed, Scott!
Enjoyed watching👍👍, Great stuff 🎥
Glad you enjoyed! Ride on :)
Totally inspiring
Glad it inspired you, David! Ride on!
Wow! I'm so glad I did that big ride when I was in my 30's.. not sure I want to keep punishing my body like that. Good job! Cheers!
Thanks for watching and commenting, ONE SHIFT MEXICO - ride on :)
Big, huge 👍!
Thanks for watching, Eric!
Amazing video.👍
Thanks for watching - glad you enjoyed :)
Ha! I slept in that little cabin at the Llama Ranch this summer. Nice job, Jay.
Llama Ranch is the best! Salt of the earth folks...
I don’t bikepack or anything because im scared of cars & traffic but i love your videos & i thank you for it.
Thanks for your kind words, Yohanna :) I appreciate it!!
Hats off to JayP and all the racers. Hoping to do that next year in 14 weeks, not 14 days!😀LOL
Hahahahaa!!! Love it, Glen :) - 14 weeks, now we're talking!
Absolutely awesome…thanks guys!! I can’t for me own Divide adventure. Maybe next year?.?.
Nordology - you've gotta do it!!! Next year for sure :)
That is awesome. I've been riding a road bike around the streets of Phoenix for quite a while, but I'm ready for a change. Need to decide on a mountain bike as I really want to take up some bikepacking. It would be a dream to do the GDMBR, but at 54, I'd need a couple months and someone willing to go with me to ensure I didn't take any wrong turns. Thanks for sharing the adventure. Well done !!!
Michael, plenty of people doing it in their 50's... and I'm sure you could find someone with similar goals to join ya - check out the Tour Divide and GDMBR facebook groups... with a gpx track and maps, it's pretty easy to stay on route!! DO IT!!!
Great documentary and inspiring to watch from someone who at 52 years old just started riding ultra distant races last year. Check out the Pan Celtic race here in the UK. This will be my second go at it this year. Maybe I’ll to to the U.S to race someday.
So of Piran, thanks for watching - glad you found it inspiring! Best of luck on the Pan Celtic, I'll check it out!! Ride on :)
Wooooo, it's my birthday!
Haha 😆 thanks for watching :)- ride on!
Ídol🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
thanks for watching, El Viejo Pull - ride on!
Awesome insight, thanks Alan & JP
Thanks for watching and commenting, Shewie01 - ride on!
Such a great mini doco. Why swapping the chain after just 900 miles ?
Thanks for watching, Draculapin :) I don't wanna speak for Jay, but he did mention to me that he was trying to stay out of bike shops on this trip... so he carried more brake pads than normal and focused on preventative maintenance, hence the spare chain/swapping before excessive stretching, etc... as far as I know, he didn't step foot in a bike shop the whole ride
Anyone know what helmet mount Jay is using to mount his flashlight? :)
sorry for the late response, Robert, somehow slipped through the cracks... but pretty sure it's the twofish flashlight mount or something like it... if you still haven't figured something out, let me know ad I'll ask Jay - ride on!
Great video - I learned a lot from it.
Gnarly question - but I have feet also. The white stuff on your feet, what was it, did it hurt, how did you deal with it during the race, and what suggestions for preventing or managing the problem.
Chh51 - Helena, MT
Thanks for watching and commenting - CH H51... Jay's not on RUclips much... I'll forward him this question, and get you an answer soon - ride on!
Yeah, those white spots sure did hurt! They were pressure points that turned super sensitive. The discomfort/pain was constantly on my mind. I used brand new shoes out of the box which is obviously a no-no. I would air my feet out any chance I could and even took special breaks to do so. I would change my socks regularly and I just had to suck it up.
@@jaypetervary5358 thanks for feedback. Actually new shoes is an easier problem than some sort of foot rot.
I just got some new cold weather boots and will make a point of breaking in prior to a serious event.
Jay P is a legend!!! Please tell me Jay P's bike size and his height? I want to buy Flaanimal 5.0 too))
Jay is on a race right now... but if you shoot me an email - dirtyteethmtb at gmail dot com - I'll find out and letcha know...
Pretty cool but man those feet ... come on buddy that just gross :D
Sadly drama from the past is still remembered by me when i was only first seeing great divide route films and yeah I hope such things never are repeated as ... as those more in depth Tellings are what got me into bike packing myself to attempt this someday once kido's are older and it is not a burden to leave my wife who has a business to run left to handle both of them on her own ... it's a small group of people in this sport so we all need to be better people
Thanks for sharing, ride on!
Since it was not a complete tour the divide ride starting in Alberta it is really not a complete ride but Jay did a good ride.
Thanks for watching. I was not riding the Tour Divide Route. I was riding the ACA route from border to border. I did as I claimed.
@@jaypetervary5358 ok I get it now... very nice work my question is why do you still ride it as a race cause you know your not getting younger and some people get hurt or have some other issues. I get the connection to nature and people part always special in life. You've already done it it so many times,.. is it new each time ...or you just like the challenge with the suffer part. Why do you still pursue this as a race.
@@bruceneiman5158 I don't suffer. I love what I do. This route in particular is very special to me. Its what had me discover what my passion was/is. It's also unique in its distance (the longer the better!) and is rich in history. So much 'slice of America'. I learn so much and have a completely different experience each time. To me the racing part, which is personally, is like a puzzle...a game if you will. Hard to explain it all...have you ever done the route?
@@jaypetervary5358 no have o used to do century rides all over the place and was out in the wilderness of Utah for 60 days which a real amazing thing for me. I want to do this ride probably in sections cause I know what shape you have to in for this and I work alot so nice to you being a bad ass out there very inspiring
whether it's 2750 or 2400 miles, official TD route or ACA original route... cannot discount the magnitude of the challenge and adventure that all 100 riders at the GD set out on... kudos and immense respect to all that made it to Antelope Wells... definitely a complete ride :)
