Wendy Crockett

She went on to compete in 14 more long-distance endurance rallies over the following ten years, ranging in duration from 24 hours to 11 days, garnering one win and four podium finishes along the way.

[2][7][6] In April 2022, Crockett teamed up with Ian McPhee in his home country of Australia to complete an SS8000K certificate ride, during which they successfully documented a total of 8,439 km in under five days on two separate motorcycles.

They first shared the road for a short time as adversaries during the 2019 Iron Butt Rally[8] but discovered that they were compatible traveling companions, despite the solitary nature of the sport.

[9] Planning had been underway since late 2019 for what would become their Guinness World Record-setting ride, but the global COVID-19 pandemic prevented McPhee from traveling internationally in preparation for the undertaking.

[14] With the clock already ticking on McPhee's American tourist visa, the decision was made that he would begin the alphabetical ride on his own, visiting the Alabama capitol in Montgomery and the Alaska capital in Juneau before reuniting with Crockett on May 28 in Craigellachie, British Columbia, Canada.

[9] They documented their final alphabetical state in the Wyoming capital city of Cheyenne on August 14, 2022, 77 days and 63,474 miles into their Guinness record attempt.

After a lengthy review process, they were able to successfully claim a new world record, with Guinness recognizing their total qualifying distance at 80,208 miles (129,082 km).

[37] In 2019, Crockett was named a Paul Harris Fellow by the Rotary International in appreciation of the tangible and significant assistance given for the furtherance of better understanding and friendly relations among peoples around the world.

[2] In October 2021, she earned the American Motorcyclist Association's Service Award for her volunteer work on the Suffragists Centennial Motorcycle Ride, an event celebrating the 100th anniversary of the passage of the 19th amendment which made women in the United States eligible to vote for the first time.

[39] In December 2022, Crockett, together with Ian McPhee, received the World Traveler Award in the Team Strange Trails to Rails Grand Tour event for documenting bonus locations in three countries.

This included all three available transcontinental railroad bonuses, which required visits to Last Spike monuments in Australia, Canada, and the United States.
