Hi guys, JF here. Was going to go for an ITT on the full 750, but I'm calling it here at the 300 finish line and will have to come back for more another year. Very hard to deal with the heat and dehydration. Can't seem to get caught up with fluid and food. I don't know how you guys do it but you are machines!

All the best to everyone else on course and thanks for all the great threads that made my start possible.

Hart, there's still some late ITTs so maybe try to contact them.

In related housekeeping news, I found a couple of items on trail on 4/5 or 4/6:
- a Schwab cycles water bottle (it was full, thanks for the water!)
- a cinch strap for a Revelate Sweetroll or something similar (with the little foam block and buckle)

Let me know if they're yours and I can mail them to you.

Hi, JF here. I'm planning on starting my 750 ITT on Monday or Tuesday, so I can look for it and let you know when i can get reception.

Thanks Addy, that is how I was reading it, but wanted to make sure.

So for those that slept in the canyon, did you just sort that out upon arrival at the south rim?

Thanks,

JF

Hi,
I'm a last minute committer(ish) for the AZT750 as a rookie, I guess it will be real once I book the shuttle...
I just went through last year and this year's planning thread as well as the ATA site to figure out permits. If anyone has bits of wisdom that would be great.

• Is it too late to get a thru permit? It seems ok unless I missed something.
• Saw from ScottM's post that we only need permit for crossing the canyon.
• Is the backcountry permit form what need to be filled this one? I couldn't find the Thru-hiker option.  (https://www.nps.gov/grca/planyourvisit/backcountry-permit.htm)
• Is there another way to get the appropriate permit? In person? Or it can only be issued in advance?
• Am I missing anything else?
• Is this what a typical AZT750 rider does (get the permit) or they skip it and ride/hike through

I'm asking because I'm driving down (from Canada) to ride in the warmth for the next few weeks on the StageCoach400, Moab/Fruita and St-George, so if I need to make a stop somewhere to get what I need I'll have time.

Thanks,

JF
