Xavier Campos and I, Daniel Sundermeier, set out to beat the FKT of the Broken top bottle shop. We really didn't really have much grasp on how fast we needed to go but we were pretty sure that the inventors of this route, Chelsey Magness and Emily Caseria, had put down a solid time. We suspected that's why there wasn't a strong challenge to this FKT. We carried our running shoes, clothes, and food in backpacks as we rode up. The climbing seemed to never end. We stashed our bikes in the woods near the crater ditch trailhead, changed our clothes and proceeded on foot. We each refilled our water from a creek on the way. The summit was easy and uneventful as Xavier and I have both done it many times. We made our way back to the bikes and knew we had to work hard to get back quickly. All the climbing we did on the way up meant a mostly downhill route on the way back. I was in a pretty much all out sprint from lower mrazek back to the bottle shop.
