Have at it then!
And as far as I know the only people who say that the TD is nothing but jeep roads are the same people that have yet to do it!
Its sooooo much more.
Good luck!

sealskinz are on the way to my house - interested in giving these guys a shot!

used them last year they did a great job holding water once wet!
Go with wool....

Anyone else going  for the big three this year?

Had so much fun this year I'll go ahead and put my name in the hat for 2013 !

Flying to calgary today and riding to banff should roll in wed am!

I say no!

I'll be there!
Gonna go ahead and put in for the time off!

What is your setup?  Saguaro in front and Crossmark in back? 

yep

Iv'e been running that set up for two weeks and love it for fire roads!
Tech single track not so much?
Seated up on stans arch with no issues.
Might try another could be a fluke ?

Great news the mount lemmon store will will be open 24hrs day for all azt racers from friday till Monday
If you show up after reg hrs just go knock on the door of the house behind the store ask for phil
Just remember after mon back to reg hrs.
Big thanks to phil ,carole and tanner  
Keep that in mind for 2013.

Thanks got a ride after all!

So now my ride to parker has to work anyone have room for one more?
im in tucson
with all that can happen good karma could help you finish this monster ride...

Come on

Does your stuff up front hit your tire when your shock compresses?

Also I was just looking at the temps for the race on friday and saturday.  Looks like high temps are going to be in the low 60's to low 70's for the desert. In Summerhaven looks like Saturdays high will be 44.  Weather couldn't be better for me honestly.  Even though it isn't going to be hot I think I am still going to leave early Friday morning w/Brad Mattingly.  I am trying to get to at least the I-10 this year on the first day so I could use the extra day light hours.

come on mass start is the way to go!

Thats

I have one of those racing ralph snakeskin tires, looks like a great tire, but I think you want a bit tighter tread pattern thus faster rolling, look at the WTB Nano, it has all those tightly spaced and almost continuous center knobs thus fast and long lasting. This is what I looked for tires. I have chosen a Geax Saguaro front, and a Maxxis crossmark.

thats the same tire set up im using as well!

That makes 5 from AZ 4 from Tucson!

Just dont smoother yourself in honey and you'll be fine, really dont think a tent will make much of a diff. Eccept for kepping you drier.
Bivy and tarp for me!

300,TD,CTR for me!

Two tubes and I always carry shock pump

List looks good -cleats if doing 750 maybe
Rampage great choice unless your going for a record?

Yes very hard to get on and off
just run rampage front and rear for azt...
Set it and forget it!
