Jerry attempts to break the UMCA record for a single-rider, non-stop bike race across the State of Colorado. Beginning at the Utah border, Jerry rides along Highway 50, across the western slope of Colorado, over the Continental Divide, and onto the eastern plains of Colorado, covering 468 miles on his trek to the Kansas border. He must overcome mechanical issues, road construction, bad weather and sleep deprivation. Will he break the record? Will he even finish the race? You'll learn about Jerry's own struggles with PTSD and why he is dedicated to helping our country's military veterans.
