Trying to find a date in early September to spend some time on the azt from Parker canyon lake to superior. I am going single speed with a 34 20. Any things to keep in mind for that time of year and with that gearing? Any opinions would be awesome! Thanks guys!

Good luck! I'm planning a mid November attempt, cooler but longer nights. Can't really offer any advice though!

He actually decided on Coconino Loop, rather than the 300.  Good choice with the temps.  Still a big gear, though...

Probably a good choice a couple of weeks ago it was still quite hot, temps are coming down though. We went 24 hours with out running the cooler just a couple of days ago, only running a couple of hours a day now. Highs for this weekend 95 however just a couple of weeks ago a guy had to be rescued off of the north end of the Catalina's http://www.tucsonmtb.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=5493

As for the big gear choice well he'll likely get to mix it up with a fair bit of walking might save the ass in the end.
