This is it, this is exactly it! Looping 520 miles around North America's deepest canyon is amazing. Dirt, steep descents, forest climbs, all of it, with over 5,000 feet of elevation change. For someone who's been saying pavement is boring all along, this is a dream route. GPS track drops free on August 7th, so I guess I just have to go.
