He has completed multiple multi-day, multi-century, self-supported bikepacking trips and has ridden more than 280 miles in a single day. In October of 2019, Jason began a 5-month solo self-supported 7,000-mile cycling adventure through the Americas riding from New York City to Belize and from Colombia to Chile.
