He would climb over 55,000 feet during the 311 mile-long journey through the Italian Alps. Most riders traditionally finished the Liguria Mountain Divide in 9 days. Jay finished in just 4 days and 12 hours. Jay Petervary has set course records for bike packing events around the world, from the 2,745-mile Continental Divide Ride to the Iditarod Trail Invitational, which covers 1,000 miles of Alaskan wilderness in temps reaching -50º F.
