Hey man - glad you made it.  I'm the guy who was running rim-to-rim and stopped for a very brief chat while you were on your way up the North Kaibab.  I knew right away you were doing the AZT.  Nice blog & pics.  In hindsight, it's rather funny that you were hassled  at the North Rim after trudging rim-to-rim and bending over backwards to follow the rules.  Oh well, I suppose it's the better than the GC being some sort of free-enterprise free-for-all, trashed & plundered.

Congrats on a truly epic journey.

Great work, congrats on the thru-bike of the AZT!  Thanks for the post and link.  It sounds like you used Andrea Lankford's route (the very old guidebook)? 

You are the 6th person to carry a bike across the canyon.  Awesome.  Interesting to hear the part of the rangers hassling you.  They need to get used to the idea of AZT rider/racers hiking all night, so I am glad to hear it all turned out OK.

Best of luck on the rest of your trip, sounds very ambitious...
