Morning Run

Afternoon Run

Previously 1h 50m 24s set last June by Matt Spear. This was my first time on this route and it was a real good time. I started just after 2pm and the day had already heated up into the mid 70s so I thought that might compromise the FKT attempt. The first 3rd was just cruising on relatively mellow single track before a brutal climb up to the Elk Mt. summit that gains 1700 feet in 1.4 miles. Steep enough in parts that I was using my hands. 

Then some short and technical accents and descents before reaching a mile and a half section that must've been an old logging road judging by its width and consistent grade. I was pretty gassed from Elk Mt. and this was a much needed reprieve from the super steep grind. 

I made it to the Kings Mt. summit right around record pace and cruised down the 2500 feet in 2.3 miles back to the trailhead.
