Gotta get to sleep but can’t stop watching the dots. Hanoch may be napping, Justin D and Josh U seem to be moving fast in the canyon, Mike D about at decision point to bivy or start hiking. Incredible if JD can pass HR, he’s about 5 miles from rim.

I placed some neutral water at the road crossing south of Mormon Lake. Saw Justin, Josh, and Mike D. All seemed to be in great spirits and truly enjoying the ride. Loving the cooler temps, it was a perfect day out there - light breeze, sun, grass greening up.

Did see fire smoke well to the south-southwest of the route, I expect it was controlled pile burns, shouldn't be a direct issue to the course, but may be some smoke present.

Here you go:
When the AZT crosses Snowbowl road (after the logging detour), go left down Snowbowl road, then right on US180, then right on FR151. Finally, take a right on FR418 and rejoin the AZT.

I thought it may have been that simple, thanks for clarifying! Amazing to see 5 riders within 5 miles of each other this far in. Will be exciting to see how it shakes out.

I saw schillingsworth's post regarding the logging detour in Flagstaff - I haven't found a description of the specific Snowbowl snow detour. Can anybody post a reference?
