No, this isn't a ride report that I'm doing but I have followed this "race" for a couple of years now. Pretty cool deal where the 750 runs from border to border in AZ.

San Diego Treader reporter Evdog is doing the 300 where he's riding great at the 215 mile marker now. He's been working up for this and decided to give it a go this year. That's one hell of a ride and I hope he finishes safely. Can't wait to hear the details.

That's pretty awesome. Thanks for posting this. He is currently at 250miles an hour ago.

Having just finished the arch yesterday after 8 hours on the trail due to quite a few mechanical's and fixing said mechanical's. Can't imagine doing 6 times that, let alone 15 times that!

A fun little twist on the 750 is that bikes aren't allowed in the Grand Canyon. They have to break down the bike, carry it on your back, reassemble it and continue riding

Looks like 24 miles of hike a bike! Brutal!

Evan has about 22 miles to go now so it looks like a very late night finish for him

Crazy Bastard!! :drunk:

He probably would have finished 5-6 hours earlier but he was surely stopping to take photos along the way.

Gotta love how there's a rider named "Bong Zilla" and his status is "Alternated from race route"

:lol:
