@lumpy873: Nope, carried that in a lot of chews, bars, and gels.

@MrJimLahey: As it turns out, Kenny Loggins was blasting in my ears at hour five.

This was fully self-supported. I carried all my own food and hydration from start to finish.

It is a mix of smooth dirt road, a bit of pavement, but mostly rough, rocky jeep road. I rode a full suspension and was thankful for every millimeter of travel. There are long sections of very rough slickrock and even a handful of rock gardens that require some creative line choice.

@Chonky13: Ha, I'll be packing beers the next time I ride it. This was 100% self supported, and I did it with two big water bottles. It was cool enough out to get away with it.

That truck was camera crew, and actually slowed me down momentarily as I passed it. This ride was 100% self-supported, and I was alone 90% of the time. That other 10% of the time was when photos and video was being shot.

Getting a day permit is actually very easy. Almost no one wants to do it in a day, so they just hand them out 24 hours in advance.
Doing this as fast as I could was an exciting challenge and privilege, but I'll definitely be going back soon to enjoy it at multi-day pace.

For sure. I get that perspective, and we went back and forth on it. We kept going back to making it as relatable as possible, which to us meant using the most commonly used start and end point. Getting down to the bottom of Schafer to start the loop there poses some logistical challenges for most people. Honestly the FKT aspect of this project is just one component, with the bigger picture being a celebration of the amazing place.
