Rapha Gone Racing - Alaska Pipeline FKT
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 ก.ย. 2021
- Four feet wide and carried five above the ground by a seemingly endless series of stanchions, the Alaska Pipeline is, for most of its 800-mile route, the only mark humanity has made on the pristine wilderness of this last frontier. The only mark, that is, except for the road that accompanies the pipeline on its long journey south from the Artic outpost of Prudhoe Bay to Valdez.
For born and bred Alaskan Lael Wilcox, this lonely road has always held a special interest. In fact, she’s ridden most of it before. But this time she’s back with a new challenge to set a Fastest Known Time, or FKT, for the route and bring a new source of energy to the road. By pushing herself, she hopes to encourage other riders, wherever they live and however long they’ve been riding, to do the same.
But this is a record attempt not a race, so Lael’s number one adjective is to have fun. All you have to do is show up with what you have, ride with all your heart and see how it goes. Oh, and you need to eat like it’s your job! Created by an all-female crew, tune into this latest episode of Rapha Gone Racing to find out how Lael got on in the Alaskan wilderness and whether the rumours that she is quicker than crude oil are actually true.

Even during a FKT attempt, she still has time to stop and chat to people - what a hero.
I'm a 66 years old french cyclist and Lael is my hero!
Lael is a gem on a normal day - when she is smoked and in and out of a sleep-deprived delirious state, she is an absolute treasure. 😝 ❤️ 🥰
Finally a video that shows some of what she suffers through and “Eats”. My favorite parts of any of Lael’s videos is seeing what she eats. Most videos skip that part. Glad some of it was in this.
She makes it look so easy, I really have to remind myself how insane the ride is and how fast she is going
Lael is such an ultra cycling rockstar! What's more, I'm impressed with how much energy she can give to her fans out on the road even though she must be incredibly tired. At over 200 miles a day on average in challenging conditions, self-supported (eating hot dogs!), is nothing short of amazing! Well done on the edit. It had a very nice documentary style progression. Looking forward to more of Lael's FKT's.
Love the two fans standing on the side of the road in the middle of nowhere…awesome!!
Rapha always providing us the inspiration to "keep riding". Thank You Lael 🙂
What a happy and positive human. Loved it.
Love this. Lael's energy and enthusiasm and genuineness is a gift.. Love this. Lael's energy and enthusiasm and genuineness is a gift..

Lael. You’re more than an incredible ambassador for the sport. You’re amazing & inspiration for the planet 👊🏼
Awesome. Still waiting for Lachlan's video on his Alt Tour de France ride.
gonna be a classic
yes please!
I was wondering throughout this video how ridiculous Lachlan would be. Probably just skip sleeping at all or something nuts.
@@robnilles6625 he’s crazy but he’s got nothing on Lael
Thank you🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Love the energie!!!!
She suffers with a smile, what an inspiration, I just wanna go ride my bike now!

Just seen my first two Lael videos. What a don 👌🏼 I like her calm
Leal, don’t know if you see or read these comments but your attitude, determination and love for the road inspires me. I did my first 200 mile ride last year and thought of you. Thanks for lifting us up in the sport!
You are awesome. I suffered with you, laughed with you, and cheered you on. Feats of human strength, courage, and fortitude make me feel special because it shows that we are greater than we ever hope to be. Thank you for allowing me and everyone that has seen this video to get to know a very special human. Never stop riding and never give up. WOW!!!!
Thanks Lael. Such an inspiration. You are the best!
This is incredible. Thanks to Rapha for keeping this amazing content coming! You're changing the world's view of cycling. I watched this on the turbo, and i've never been more inspired to continue cycling!
Super duper. Loved this little film.
What an amazingly cheerful and up beat character. She’s suffering big time, sleep deprived and just keeps beaming. What a women. Huge respect
In my next life I want to be Lael. Awesome documentary, with great people.

Lael is my shero!
Légendaire!
Lael is my hero, to be certain!! Way to go on another epic adventure!!!
Lael is such an inspiration, and so enthusiastic. I 've only ridden over a hundred miles on four or five occasions, I love the way she chews up hundreds, in tough terrain with a smile on her face. What a fantastic ambassador for cycling.
I loved this video, Lael absolute inspiration, the editing, the incredible sequence at minute 10:54, what a great cinematography!!!
I am amazed of the wonderful spirit Lael has on her FTK attempts. Great video Rapha and crew!!
I don't know what's more incredible about this lady. Setting this amazing time, or seeing her wearing a smile doing it.
Love this. Lael's energy and enthusiasm and genuineness is a gift.
Incredible and inspirational, Lael - always smiling
I have ridden the Dalton highway from Fairbanks to Deadhorse about 20 years ago. It was SO HARD. I have massive respect for her endurance and perseverance.
Not sure what is more impressive, Lael’s amazing endurance or her phenomenal ability to eat ANYTHING while riding.
Awesome video so inspirational 👏 💪
Lael is an absolute phenomenon, so inspiring... Alaska just looks jaw dropping
Lael is SO gnarly and yet so kind and peaceful.
Some kind of zen wizard who lives on the ragged edge. What an amazing human.
Siempre es un buen día cuando sale contenido nuevo de Lael y Rue. Gracias!
What a piece of super woman! always transmit good vibes! ☺️
i love that crude oil speed comparison; great video and fantastic effort!
She is an inspiration. Such a great video of an amazing warrior. Incredible. Thank you!
Lael is amazing. She is a very inspiring and humble human being.
Awesomeness Lael 💪
Legend! We love you Lael! ❤️
Utterly incredible. Lael is my hero. She's inspired me to ride further than I could have thought possible. And the amount she had to eat! I like food but that's a tough pace to keep up.
Great vid about a fantastic, inspiring spirit. Thanks Rapha!!!!!
Love it. What a super embracable spirit. Thank you for the zest, and thanks Rapha for this series.
Phenomenal, lael is hardcore and somehow keeps so upbeat, especially when she's riding alone!
Wow! Thank you all so much for sharing this! And you beat the oil down the pipeline! Love that fun fact! 😁💖
I can attest to the fact the Alaskans are willing to help out others: I rode to AK back in 1992 up from Los Angeles. I hit a couple of destinations such as Homer, Valdez, etc. Awesome place. Once I made it to Fairbanks, I decided to go up to Prudhoe Bay. Unfortunately I ended up with a terrible tooth ache in the middle of nowhere, somewhere south of the Yukon. A local gave me a ride all the way back to Fairbanks. It was on his way; nevertheless he helped out a stranger in need.
Fantastic production, I loved it. "Eat like it's my job" and "show up with what you have and ride with all of your heart". I need a sticker with those quotes on my bike! :-)
We all need a little crazy. This is good crazy.
These videos with Lael are absolute amazing!
What a champ, she always makes me smile.
I continue to be so appreciative of Lael's great attitude. Aloha!
She is so inspirational. What a cool adventure.
Flip I love Lael! Such a cool person, protect her at all costs!
My new hero. Wish everyone would know her.
Love it!

Lael is an amazing and inspiring woman! Her attitude is awesome. What a perfect video to come across before my big ride today! Cheers!
That kid with the sign and the chocolate bar reminds me of a Paris-Roubaix themed event I did, with mud and rain to suit. At the end of a gravel sector there was a family waiting, and a five year old kid handing out flapjack.
