Why did Garrett turn around last night?
Is there a burn area he didn't want to camp in?
Not that I am aware of. I am curious why he turned around as well. |

Maybe he was looking to get out of the wind. It was pretty windy coming from the west last night. Looks like where he ended up was at least a little sheltered by a mountian/hill. |

Super nice weather today in Flagstaff. Only enjoyed 20 minutes of sun time to eat lunch for work break. I need more free time to pedal.
Go all!!!

Three of the top eight 800 racers are women, led by Flagstaffs Chase Edwards. who you gotta say as it stands this morning has a 50/50 shot of winning the whole event.

Hey all, Just got home from a few days down south. To answer some questions: Garrett turned around in the Goldfields because he was having trouble navigating the singletrack turns in the waning light. Too bad because where he turned around the singletrack was done!! He's making great progress north now. The two fellas that are currently white dots took the old AZT route into Patagonia because they weren't going to make the sunset cutoff on the new section of singletrack that leads across private ranch land. They then scratched, but wanted their trackers to remain active while they toured around. Kurt reported 2008 conditions on Oracle Ridge!! Fun!! We should have a batch of riders reaching Picketpost tomorrow. Some solid times being thrown down in spite of the rough conditions. Although Scott and I rode some AZT today near Colossal Cave and had a difficult time finding catclaw. Hmmm.  Also, I've been compiling some photos, pretty much all from Thursday here: 2021 AZTR |

Thanks for all the info John and also thank you for all the work that goes into handling all the various seen and unseen things behind the scenes in order to have such a great through ride season.

An interesting turn of events for those two, good for them respecting the closure time. John or Scott, wouldn't the riding more AZT clause have allowed them to continue north from Ptown and rejoined at Hog canyon. It can't be faster and if it makes it possible for someone to continue in active mode it would possibly ensure that riders aren't tempted to push the closure time.

All I can think of all the sharp grass slicing between the toes would be like death by a thousand paper cuts. It is not like the hike with bike on back, Rim to Rim, is already enough of a hair shirt experience |

Too shocked to look closer but the sandals look thin and basic nothing fancy with clips must have been flats. |

Well Sandals w/ Flats are always better than Tires w/ Flats ; -) |
