I’ll be attempting a supported FKT tomorrow at 8 am. It can be tracked at share.garmin.com/nwdirtchurners
I see this route's been getting some action lately and has a summit option now too. Super cool. Here's what this route's author had to say after attempting it on 9/20/2020 (copied from his Strava) "Sucks to DNF an FKT route that you made. It got really hot on the 10 mile asphalt climb and I got really dehydrated and started puking. I also got lost on the Twin Ponds Trail and had to bushwack for a couple miles. Basically, this route sucks. I never even saw the mountain on a clear day." This is why it's important to try out your routes before submitting them. I had a feeling this was the case when I first did this one. Oh well, it's here now. Good luck to those who come next and stay tuned for my own attempt at this loop again but with the summit this time...doh, never mind. It just snowed on the mountain!
