The ancient motto of the pony express is not exactly our motto—the rain and snow actually would stop us on our Leisure World 50K Ultramarathon (cycling) Record.
But it appears to be Candice’s motto. Neither rain nor snow nor gloom of night (or freezing cold) has stopped Candice. This week she broke all the Ultramarathon World Records when she completed 23 consecutive days of running 50Ks. She will now be in the Guinness Book of World Records.
To support Candice's efforts we are cycling 50K per day. But, as we are going to tell her, all she has to carry for her 50Ks is a water bottle....while we each have to haul along 90 pound bicycles!
Although we aren’t cycling in the snow, most mornings it has been awfully cold—the outside temperature is the lower one in the photo below!
Look what we get to see on our very cold and very early morning rides……a pack of 5 coyotes out hunting (hopefully not for us).
Today we finished Day 21…. and we’re awfully proud!
p.s. We have no idea what the Leisure World 50K cycling record is....because, of course, there is no such thing. We may have set the record when we completed Day 1.
