Inspired by the legendary Warren Miller quote, “If you don’t do it this year, you’ll be one year older when you do,” Ryan Standish set out set set a massive 310 mile fastest known time. While most people seek FKTs on Kokopelli’s Trail or on White Rim, Ryan went for a combined FKT, with 25,000 feet of climbing all in one ride. He brought mother and father, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis (MS), along for part of the ride.
“310 miles, 25,000 feet of climbing, one ride, what could go wrong? Ryan Standish linked two iconic trails in one massive FKT attempt – the Kokopelli and White Rim. Why take on a journey like this? Ryan Standish found inspiration and motivation to embark on a journey like this for those who no longer can, especially his Dad because of his battles with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). His Dad’s journey with MS made Ryan realize that we have to make the most of the time we have. So ‘Why Wait?’“
