The White Rim Road is a beautiful, 100-mile jeep road (with 7 miles of pavement) in the Islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park, near Moab, Utah. The "White Rim in a Day" (WRAID) has been a classic for mtn bikers since it was first done (probably) by Buzz Burrell in the mid-1980s.

I remember reading about a guy (a LONG time ago) who ran WRIAD completely unsupported and used a bike trailer to haul all of his water (if I remember correctly the guy worked for REI or Patagonia). Does anyone have any more info on this or any info on any other unsupported runs on the White Rim?

Found it...John Stamstad ran the loop unsupported in 27 hours according to his Patagonia Ambassador page - http://www.patagonia.com/us/patagonia.go?assetid=1891
