Successful scouting mission I'd say, not even close to a failure. Though the timeline to scout the whole thing is longer than we planned, it can get done :) Then we will be ready for the sub-60!

Thanks so much, Mark. I appreciate you checking out some of my work, and forging the path for a younger cyclist, mountain climber, and writer.

I appreciate the timing of this trip, as I have zero personal context for how difficult this route is, and therefore how impressive Francois’ new FKT is. Learning that 60 hours is a stretch goal for you and Candice puts it into perspective nicely. Looking forward to when you give it a go again.

Thanks for the comment, Ken. 60 hours is the official challenge for Nolan's, which would require a lot of running, crew, and sleep deprivation. Likely something we go for in the future, but this was more a scouting mission for us! Either way, Francois' new FKT is mind-blowing. Appreciate your continued support.

Love can blind you sometimes so Adam I’ll remind you. You’re attempting rare feats with Candace The World Conqueror. 🤣🤣🤣When she asks you to try again just say no. 🤣JK

I’ve noticed you’re always finding joy and truth in life during whichever part of the journey you’re on and put a big smile on your face—your bright energy I’ve loved 15 years ago or now. Enjoyed the read for this week and looking forward to seeing you daring greatly for your next goal and dream, Adam!
