Ryan Standish returned a year after a failed Fastest Known Time attempt to tackle the Kokopelli and White Rim Trails again, riding more than 300 miles and climbing about 26,000 feet across desert terrain. The previous attempt followed strict FKT rules: no outside support, no hidden supplies, and adherence to the original line, which pushed resources like water to the limit. The new effort removes rigid stopwatch constraints and allows regular crew support, reducing carried water and shifting focus to completing the route and the personal experience rather than an unsupported record attempt.
Ryan Standish and Scott Sports have teamed up once again to document an epic journey from Fruita, Colorado to Moab, Utah. After attempting to achieve the Fastest Known Time (FKT) on this route last year and coming up short, Ryan is back to give it another crack, this time with a new perspective, but is it enough to complete the mission?
"There's no water out there," Standish recalls. "When you're 140 miles into a ride and you still have another 160 to go, it's a pretty crazy thing to start the White Rim from town with nothing waiting for you. Last time, I was carrying eight liters of water up the longest climb of the day. This time, I could carry three or four liters, drink it all, and see my crew again in a few hours."
