- For years, bikepacker Lael Wilcox wasn't sure whether she wanted to try and break the Around The World record. But with politics and climate change threatening global stability, the 36-year-old thought it was now or never, and has set out to try beat Jenny Graham's 2018 record by two weeks by circumnavigating the globe in 110 days.

Rode with her in South Australia...lovely person & just amazing the kms & speed she is doing for almost 4 months.
I love Lael, she's the human equivalent of a Labrador with her positive energy and boundless enthusiasm. I could listen to her for hours.
Thank you for making this video! I watched Lael Wilcox’s video from 4 years ago and was so impressed I wanted to see what she is doing now. Well she’s riding her bike around the world. I’m so happy she’s doing well and doing the things she loves. The long comment for her video I just want to ride four years ago. She’s an inspiration to me. I hope people keep making videos with her and her friends. All of you are such an inspiration thank you so much. You have no idea how much joy you bring to so many people, I hope it returns to you exponentially. Love and Kindness, Tom 😊
Lael is just incredible in so many ways! Wishing her a safe journey and thank you for sharing this!!
Lael is the GOAT. Glad you guys are starting to mix in more video elements to the site/pods!
Love this lady, she's such wonderful person, a beautiful soul and inspiration to the rest of us! Best wishes Lael, safe journey!❤
Rarely we see attempt round the world at all, but very common to see everyone having an opinion how it should be done. I'm tracking Lael's trip on Rapha's website every day and would be very happy to meet her in person in Europe. Pushing limits like this excites me far more than day crit racing.
I met her on gdmbr last year my property colorado, I'm trail angel water at road for riders, I dot. She was super sweet, huge smile, great personality for the few minutes and off she went, not before I got picture with, must have been near midnight.
Lael is amazing, but dude, the moving background is making me dizzy. Had to cut this video short.
Really? I loved it. Nice view of western Colorado by train while thinking of bikepacking. Thought it was a nice addition.
FYI, you don't have to watch the screen to enjoy a podcast.
i love lael, but this video is giving me motion sickness
Lael is amazing - personality plus, upbeat, fun, smart, tenacious, and approachable. I have been a big fan of her's and recently had the opportunity to have lunch with her while visting in AZ just after she crushed it in her 350 mile race in AK. Her accomplishments are unparelled and so inspiring. All the best with your ride around the world. :)
I've just subscribed to this channel, nice interview with Lael. She is an ispiration !
Can't wait for Lael to reach Australia, coming through my back yard so will definately ride with her for a section! Thanks Jonny for doing this looking forward to many more on the Ultra theme!
Thanks for sharing video, met her last year my place on the gdmbr, super sweet! Oddly i randomly met kait boyle few weeks ago riding colorado mountains town, spoke to briefly being trail angel, kait was super cool also, said i had met Lael last year, humble and modestly kait said friends with Lael, went home googled name and sure enough. I just give water out, meet remarkable endurance athletes.
And she completed that monster ride with that same smile. What an amazing woman, athlete, person, inspiration.
A very tall order but if anyone can do it then Lael Wilcox is the person she knows about her breathing issues and hopefully she does not run into those poor conditions and she knows riding 169 miles.plus each day is gonna be really tough and through adverse conditions so planning and timing the route will be critical my prayers she has an amazing journey she is tough enough to meet this ride head on and no bad if it goes .bad because trying it is what matters it's a great adventure for sure
