It started as a way to link the AZT with CDT. Then it grew into a thru-hike in its own right — a remote route linking two sprawling megalopolises. Phoenix to Albuquerque — in 700 miles. Brett Tucker is the mastermind behind the GET. Ever since I read his glowing introductory page, I …. [Continue reading] 
Tim on the ‘micro track’ / Hedgehog trail My feet were killing me as I mashed my way through the University, post Tucson Mountain ride. It was not a good feeling to be (seemingly) back where I was last year.I’m lucky that I was planning on transitioning back to platform pedals anyway. Because it …. [Continue reading] 
Francisco invited Mark and I to check out some “in progress” AZT in the White Canyon passage. He needed to check out the progress himself, and wanted to verify with us the design and implementation of it. Francisco is a good guy who has attended IMBA training sessions. He knows his stuff. I jumped …. [Continue reading] 
They are anxious to get the Arizona Trail between Oak Tree and Fagan Lake rolling. So we’re somewhat in a rush to finish the flagging. It’s rough, rough country. The mountains are so steep that it doesn’t take much water to scour out the drainages. This means some very difficult crossings. The upshot is …. [Continue reading]

The Cienega Corridor project (~25 miles) is getting close to done, but the section south of there hasn’t even been laid out yet. Mark and I went out to flag as much …. [Continue reading] 
Lots of hot air about the Grand Canyon and Riding the Spine. It’s all over the news, apparently. I’ve felt compelled to comment not so much because it’s that important of an issue, but because I have many of the facts about the canyon, bike-packing, wilderness, etc, that other people don’t seem to have. I …. [Continue reading] 
This diary is hosted on TopoFusion, but it’s not a TopoFusion blog. It’s almost always about riding bikes. But I also enjoy working on TopoFusion and especially some of the interactions I have with TF related people. I’ve always had an obsession with speed in TopoFusion. It’s an unhealthy one, for sure. Unhealthy for the …. [Continue reading] |
