This ride had been on the hit list for a while since Josh (@jstootell) told me about it. I'm glad I've finally been able to tackle it with him this year. We had to wait for a good time when the weather wasn't scorching hot because it's in the desert after all. It's normally a shuttle ride that takes about 3 hours to complete, but we climbed it because why not. The whole loop took us just over 6 hours for 74 km and 2341 m of climbing. As the sun rose higher on our way up, we were sweating profusely, but at altitude, the temperature also got cooler which was just a perfect balance. All the single track on the way down was absolutely amazing.
