Feature film: Colorado Trail’s fastest (un)known time

This wasn’t his first time taking on the trail. He had attempted to take on the fastest known time of 3 days, 19 hours, and 50 minutes once before in 2019. He fell short by three hours and at the time said it was one of the hardest things he had ever done on a bike.

With countless miles of hiking, an average elevation of 10,300 feet, and featuring nearly every style of riding imaginable, the trail is not for the faint of heart and ever since his last attempt, the mythical Colorado Trail has weighed heavy on Lachy’s mind.

Now a few thousand hours of riding later, countless kilometers spent in the saddle – mostly alone – he went back to face his old demons, and hopefully learn something along the way.

There is a GoFundMe to support Sule Kangangi’s family that has raised more than $70,000. Click here to make a donation.
