Who To Bet On To Beat Out The Record, Win The Race, Inwards Improver To Dominate The Field... The Adult Adult Woman That Biked 2100 Miles To Pop Off To The 2800 Mile Race. She Was Exactly Getting Warmed Up. You Lot Lot Ameliorate Not Bet Against Her.
Not many people who don't ride bikes for a living, or for long distances - similar across continents - bring heard of the people that do. Okay, we've all heard of Lance Armstrong, but you lot lot may already receive got inwards where I'm going amongst this... he doesn't ride for distance, he rides to win the Tour de France.
There are more than or less people who somehow tin afford to not bring a job, equally good equally maybe it's because they don't bring to pay rent, because they never sleep inwards a bedroom... they sleep on the roadside, inwards parks, or where e'er they are when they realize they are likewise wiped out to drib dead on biking.
Among them, is Lael Wilcox, equally good equally to read her spider spider web log is to receive got inwards that the riders know each other, they run into upward on the roads sometime, inwards this tell or other ones, equally good equally more than or less are merely practiced known amongst the bikers that read biking magazines instead of Hot Rod, Rodders Journal, Automobile, etc.
Well, I was blown away to read that Lael rode TO the race from Canada to Mexico, a 2800 mile amateur race that I've alone merely learned of, the Tour Divide. Just how damn astonishing is it to ride 2100 miles to acquire to the get-go of a wheel race? Blows my mind. But, going back to what I said earlier, alone because I had no receive got inwards that all she seems to do inwards this footing is ride a bike. Everywhere. For the lastly ix years she's biked all over the planet. Europe, the middle East, Canada, America, Africa etc etc. So, for her, getting to the race was a thing that didn't even matter, it was merely what was needed.
You tin read her article almost the race https://laelwilcox.com/2015/09/12/tour-divide-story/ but she doesn't follow it upward amongst remarks almost crushing the previous record, by times 2 days, or what she did after... the side by times side entry inwards her spider spider web log is her heading out on more than or less other ride.
But Outside Magazine did a even out on her https://www.outsideonline.com/1997471/how-lael-wilcox-crushed-tour-divide
equally good equally that was inwards 2015.
Who knew, she likewise runs for fun equally good equally did this REI video which genuinely covers a LOT similar the Tour Divide
For 2016, she rode the Trans Am (cross America) from Astoria Washington to Yorktown Virginia, a 4400 mile race.... equally good equally she won it. I didn't categorize that every chip "she won the women's category" no... she WON the WHOLE DAMN THING. And broke the tape for doing it the fastest.
She's the starting 4th dimension American to win it, equally good equally she's the 1st adult adult woman to win it. https://cyclingtips.com/2016/06/trans-am-lael-wilcox-wins-smashes-womens-record/ https://www.facebook.com/TransAmBikeRace/
