For the moment, still have a GPS log here from Garmin.^ Some is also on Strava under my name including the lost signal between Tyndall and Williamson. It was impossible to capture 100% on one device over such a long period of time with inevitable GPS bugs, memory failure, or batteries dieing repeatedly, but that's why I ran a back up 2nd device almost always.

Interesting point about shasta and the clear creek route. I met two brothers at the brewer creek lot over a decade ago going for the link up. Maybe less pedalling time from the east side of shasta.

Does it count if you ski shasta to speed up the time?

Congrats on your record with peaks over 4,267.2 meters.

I'm more into peaks over 4,2713.882 meters. That's the magical number.

I saw a show in Boulder recently about a similar feat as a man did all 52 peaks over 14,000 in Colorado in a month's time. The difference was that he spent more time hiking and climbing and less time cycling than the Californian who had longer biking distances to go. Both feats are awe inspiring.

Read this last night before bed, sat in amazement thinking about it, woke up this morning thinking about it.

I told the story to the wife, whose first response was to wonder about what was in the photo that the work friends sent...? Funny how different details can grab different imaginations.

Great write-up. I don't usually read trip write-ups that long (though I probably should!), but it was really well done and kept me interested the whole way through. I've done all 15 peaks but it took me a few years. I did do the southern 6 in a single trip, but even that took me 3 days and I felt pretty good about it at the time. Great effort!

Very strong work Ryan I applaud your performance. I think that you may want to be careful about calling your trip self-supported or human powered. If you have use a vehicle to assist you in your efforts, i.e. dropping off caches and dropping bicycles off at trailheads then you should not claim human powered and if you are accepting help i.e. taking food from jeepers and having vehicle support to help with mechanical issues you should not claim self-supported. I like your ideas about how to deal with some of the logistics of pulling something like this off. It shows great ingenuity. Again job well done.
