\nof No Idle Tour<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mountain bike ride from\u00a0Canada\u00a0to\u00a0Mexico\u00a0will cap Petervary\u2019s yearlong 7,000-mile Tour<\/p>\n
JACKSON HOLE,\u00a0Wyo.\u00a0(Aug. 26, 2011)\u00a0– Three rides. Three bikes. 7,000 miles. That\u2019s the simple essence of endurance cyclist Jay Petervary\u2019s 2011\u00a0No Idle Tour<\/a>.<\/p>\n Today Petervary will pedal the final leg of his No Idle Tour from\u00a0Canada\u00a0to\u00a0Mexico\u00a0along the\u00a0Great Divide route<\/a>\u00a0covering 2,745 miles on singletrack and dirt roads. Departing from\u00a0Banff,\u00a0Alberta,\u00a0Canada, Petervary\u2019s solo, self-supported journey will take him south to the end of the route in Antelope Flats, N.M. \u2013 at the US\/Mexico boarder.<\/p>\n \u201cTo wrap up the No Idle Tour like this is just perfect,\u201d said Petervary. \u201cMy previous two rides this year have been both challenging and rewarding and I know the Great Divide will provide some of the same. Although this is the final leg of the Tour, my work this year is really just the beginning of trying to bring awareness to this important issue.\u201d<\/p>\n Petervary is no stranger to the Great Divide route. In 2009 he and wife Tracey finished the route on a tandem bicycle in 18 days, 13 hours. In 2007, Petervary set the route record in just over 15 days. This year, Petervary will be riding a fully rigid\u00a0Orbea<\/a>\u00a0Alma 29er carbon mountain bike with\u00a0Slime<\/a>\u00a0tubes. Carrying everything he needs \u2013 from sleeping gear to GPS unit to a bike repair kit \u2013 Petervary\u2019s bike weighs about 30 pounds. You can follow Petervary’s progress at\u00a0www.trackleaders.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n The two other legs of Petervary\u2019s No Idle Tour included setting a record on the 1,000-mile Iditarod trail while riding his snow bike from\u00a0Anchorage\u00a0to\u00a0Nome,\u00a0Alaska\u00a0in March. In June, Petervary followed the Race Across America (RAAM) route and completed it self-supported in less than 13 days \u2013 while setting a new record.<\/p>\n After completing the Great Divide route in Sept., Petervary will travel to the bicycle industry trade show\u00a0Interbike<\/a>\u00a0inLas Vegas,\u00a0Nev.\u00a0All three of Petervary\u2019s No Idle Tour bicycles will be on display at the Slime booth for viewing.<\/p>\n To learn more about the No Idle Tour and how to donate and get involved, please visit:www.facebook.com\/noidletour<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0www.noidletour.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n About the No Idle Tour:<\/p>\n Victor, Idaho-resident Jay Petervary\u2019s\u00a0No Idle Tour\u00a0is about riding your bike, driving less and not idling.
