Lael Rides Around the World

In this episode, I break down my Specialized Roubaix bike setup for the Around the World Record attempt.

This summer, I'm riding around the world to try and break the women's Guinness World Record (currently held by Jenny Graham at 124 days). I have to ride a minimum of 18,000 miles (29,000km). The route isn't set and that's part of the fun! I asked Bea & Luca, expert route builders and race organizers, to design my track through Europe.In this episode, we go over the rules and talk about the route.I don't love planning, but every time I look at a map, I'm filled with excitement for the big ride! I'm starting on May 26 in Chicago and I'll be publishing an episode every day-- 10-20 minutes to share stories from the road.
