EDIT: Rain check on the Grand Depart. ITT around the corner.
Here comes another go at the Maricopa Trail Ride @mtr_250 starting in the wee wet hours this Friday morning - 235 miles, 13K elevation gain.
Last year I finished in 32 hours and I’m hoping to shave off a couple hours and break the 30 hour barrier. Last year after getting worked by National trail on South Mountain, I was falling asleep at the wheel riding the endless canals at 3am and had to lay down for 45 mins or so behind a concrete embankment. I also wasted some time fooling around at gas station resupply and taking plenty of wrong turns.
It was worth it tho since I got to witness a dude stealing an 18 pack of Modelos from Circle K and the box broke as he was running and they smashed all over the ground. The things you see bikepacking never get old.
Anyway this year I’m armed with caffeine gummies, PRO compact aero bars, and a full food carry at ~7900 calories. My treats of choice include the densest calories I can find and that historically have played nice with my digestive system. This is good practice for the @azt300_800!
Honey buns: 340 x 6 = 2,040
Muffins: 4 x 205 = 820
@tailwindnutrition: 3,000
@embarkmaple: 320 x 5 = 1,600
@maurten_official Gel 160: 160 x 2 = 320
Total 7780 calories or 260 per hour.
I’m also going to be testing out the @silca_velo Endurance Chip and a 20 gram dose of Creatine to improve cognitive performance during sleep depravation -->>pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10902318/.
Also shoutout @squirrelsnutbutter6307 for keeping it lubed and @dispersed.bikepacking for holding the calories secure.

I have to admit this makes me feel a bit old and out of the loop - but here goes.
I recently learned that I can listen to or watch video podcasts from the YouTube Music app for free (with ads). I don't need a YouTube Premium subscription and I can watch or just listen to my favorite podcasts. Bonus - I can also download for offline use when i'm out adventuring in airplane mode.
Download the YouTube Music app, search for your favorite podcast, save to library (optional), and hit the download button. Most Excellent!
