Fastest Known Time's (FKT's)

YES to fkt's!!

Yes.  We will record fastest known times.  We will have separate records for Supported (Solo and Team Relay) plus Unsupported.


Supported means I don't care if someone hands you a bottle every mile as long as your bike is completely self propelled.


Non-Supported is exactly what it means.  No non-rider pre-planned support along the route if this is the record you are going for.  I ask observers to please respect the effort and allow the rider to ride with no support.  

What's recognized?

For starters!

Ashton took off like a rocket and settled into a steady ride the day and sleep a little at night groove.  He was able to power through the storms but did encounter som very eye opening lightening in Cowley County!!

Preston Williams - 7 Days 21 Hours 17 Minutes


Preston endured 3 days of rain and continual mud to start his 8 day journey. The first few days were 60'ish degrees during the day and 50's at night. The last day the temps sored into the 90's and baked anyone out riding. In Preston's own words the thought of quitting was never an issue. He was simply riding his bike and enjoying his native Kansas!
