Hey all. Watching the dots for the AZT race has really got me jazzed. Now it is my turn. I am heading to Utah(?) April 28 (ish) and plan to return home on the 4th/5th. I am prepared to ride in the vicinity of Moab, as of this post. I was thinking something like Kokopelli trail in 2/3 days, white rim trail in 1/2 days, and then other local goodness if I complete those first two in their lesser times and thus have time (and legs?) left over (whole enchilada? not sure if that is fully open yet.) The first two rides seem a little pedestrian/popular to me, although I am prepared to be corrected. What i would really like is a 3-5 day self supported trip somewhere in Utah (i need to be a long days drive from home in Washington state), that is remote, rugged, beautiful, and challenging. Does anybody have a good route they would like to share, or would like to join me on? I think the best reference of my ability is a completion of the AZT300 last year in 4 days on the nose. Any and all suggestions (or .gpx files) appreciated.
Cheers
Edit: Kokopelli (Loma to Moab) is not pedestrian. It was quite challenging (especially day two) - to finish in two days. Did not do White Rim but did to an extended Lockhart Basin. Highly recommended.
