    I can not imagine that Lael has one single enemy on this planet. She is an amazing role model for humanity.

      On particularly brutal parts of the Baja Divide, she has plenty of enemies who curse her and Nicholas for designing that route! Of course, those feelings do subside once one has finally rolled into somewhere with a cold beer or shower.

    Thanks for sharing this, Revelate. This is Chris, the spork guy from humangear mentioned in the video. It was a such a treat to meet Lael as she rode into town here in Bend, OR. Lael and Rue's film "I Just Want to Ride" was a huge inspiration to me riding the TD in 2022 (and my Spinelock, Magtank 2000, and Pronghorn drybag all went the distance!). I remember closely watching Lael's pack video for the 2019 race and I'm sure many will take notes from this one as well. Go, Lael! Don't forget to eat some ice cream on the way, and, yes, our GoBites Uno makes a great tire lever, too!!! 🙂

    Can't stress this enough: Wear the tracker on your body. If you crash and become incapacitated you may not be able to reach the tracker on your bike to hit the SOS button.

  • @MrGoodaches
    @MrGoodaches 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Yeah, I’ve been curious about Lael’s packing methods ever since my wife and I met her in 2018 on the store porch in Ovando. We were SoBo, Lael was NoBo. We already knew her name and face as famous for ultra endurance riding. But the ah-ha moment was realizing her efficiency with the resupply stop. She was done shopping, bike packed, eating a snack and appearing totally relaxed while talking with us. The two men riding with her appeared capable and well equipped in their own right. But the contrast was stark. While Lael was relaxed and pleasantly conversing these guys were continuing to rush their repacking and could barely utter a hello to anyone. Not dissing the guys, simply noting that they appeared urgent. The 3 of them were trying to beat sunset to wherever they planned to sleep that night. It was merely interesting to realize that the same 20 minutes that squeezed them into a rush was an abundance of relaxed time for Lael.
    I’m the type of bike packer that needs half the morning to get the bike rolling and my resupply stops are “fast” if they are anything less than an hour. So seeing the contrast between Lael and these apparently capable guys really intrigued me to study this aspect of dialing in efficiency.

    How are you doing a 3000 mile race with a suspension fork? They say to service them every like... 300 miles which you don't have the time to do I assume? Are they more durable than the manufacturer recommendations?

    • @dvoob
      @dvoob ปีที่แล้ว +1

      50 hour service is a recommendation to extend the service life of a fork, but they'll go a lot longer with slightly less than idea performance. she'll do the route in ~14 days, so 250-300 hours of riding, and most of it gravel which won't demand too much out of the fork. Only 2.5x-3x the service interval for a full overhaul. Not idea, but the fork will also being getting temperature cycled much less than someone who rides 100 hours over the course of 4 months.

    Lael is the awesomeness cyclist. So down to earth and I love her excitement .
    I couldn't help but notice the irony in her gear setup though, Revelate bags on Specialized EPIC. Most people don't know this but Revelate Designs was originally founded as Epic Designs. You guessed it, Specialized does what does and sent a cease and desist letter to Eric and instead of getting into a legal battle with the big bullies Specialized are, changed the name to Revelate Designs. I had no idea Specialized owned the word epic🤷‍♂️

      Most likely Sram Red road hydraulic calipers, with the AXS hydraulic levers. She's used them previously.

    I got great one to one advice from Leal when I started looking into ultra distance rides and races. I copied many of her setup suggestions and try my best at riding with the same ethos and faff free mentality that she brings to the ride. I don’t win I doubt that would ever possibly happen but I do finish. I do carry a bit much but that’s life.
    My big offer to all is to use a satellite tracker on any big rides where you out on a limb. They are excellent for friends and family to track you for safety too and they have a SOS feature should you need the feds to come get you.

    It's amazing to me that such a sweet and affable person can be such a bad-ass on the bike. Lael is amazing personified.
