Yesterday we realized that we may be able to cycle 5,000 miles this year!
This would be 1,194 more miles than we have ever cycled in any other year.
We have to give Candice credit for 2,432 of these miles, since most of last winter we were cycling 32 miles (50 K) every day that we could to support her attempt to break the Guinness Book Ultramarathon World Record. She ran a 50K every day, so we cycled 50K for 125 days from November 10, 2022 to May 23, 2023.
She ran a 50K every day for 200 days (from November 5, 2022 to May 23, 2023), and now has the Guinness Ultra-marathon World Record.
We believe that cycling a 50K for 125 days earns us a Leisure World Cycling World Record!
We don’t believe we’ll ever again be inspired in one year to cycle this many miles in the rain, freezing cold (32 degree weather), wind, and even during the Arizona heat.
We love a challenging goal.
It’s December 1st and we’re off and ready to start cycling. Little did we know when we decided to set a new personal record that on our first day it would be 44 degrees…..and raining. Oh well, a little nasty weather won’t stop us.
801 miles to go…..for a new Vicky and Dan World Record!
