Question about getting to the start from Sierra Vista. Google recommends the route below, but I've been led astray by google before, into dead ends and locked gates and private land. On the other hand it'll occasionally overestimate time significantly on dirt roads, when it thinks you'll go 20mph and you can do 50+. Is this doable and worth it (likely in the dark too), or not so much? If not, is there any other way that's better/faster that doesn't require going so far north? Vehicle is 4x4 truck with 35's.

Thanks for the update Tim... and Max is one of the best of em. Real bummer to hear that, glad he's in good hands. One day for sure Tim. I'm still so thankful you guys waited for me at State Line in 2018, man what an unforgettable trip that was. |

Timon,
You're best bet is to go further south, come up & over Montezuma Pass & drive up to PCL via W. Montezuma Canyon Rd. Dirt road is in pretty good shape.

If you all do a full reload of Trackleaders, you'll see some more checkpoints have been added. I wanted to try and space them out a bit more evenly over the 300 and up north along the 800 I thought there should be one between Flagstaff & South Rim. So, you'll now see checkpoints for: Parker Canyon Lake, Canelo Pass Rd, Molino Basin & Cedar Ranch.
A few days ago I uploaded an updated version of both gpx files, current version is v6 for both the 300 & 800. Found a few track discrepancies while out on the trail, nothing major, just wanted to correct them.

@phatmike and G-Mack.
Got back from my test ride yesterday. Ended up doing OAB on Passage 17 only. Went north to south and by the time I got to the rainwater collector, I was tired enough to convince myself I DONT want to climb up from the river on day 2 haha. I?ve got some work to do. Had one solid crash, but will be ok in a week or two. Loaded bike is very different.
Thank you guys for your insight.

Looks like Max is out according to his FB. His knee problem came back. I can relate - it's a sucky way to have your ride end.
