That does look rather cool. From the fly over, I thought Oracle Ridge looked really cool, than I watched Aaron Johnsons other video of his 750 ride. It certainly looked different at ground level :shock:

Funnily enough it thought exactly the same when he started descending into the Grand Canyon.

Some nice looking singletrack in Aarons video. Dont much like the look of a bike on my back like that though. How far is the HAB?

When I first heard about the AZT750 and the 20+ mile HAB through the Grand Canyon, I thought "sod that".
However, Aaron's vid has some amazing scenery and singletrack in it, and despite the HAB bit, the route has more appeal now than it did this time yesterday :smile:

I watched Aaron's video a while back, and really liked the look of it. And getting to hike the Grand Canyon, albeit with a bike on your back, would be amazing. I'm tempted by this in 2016... finances permitting...
