In this episode of Bike Tour Adventures, I have the pleasure to interview Lael Wilcox. Lael is a professional ultra-distance adventure cyclist that has achieved so much in just a few short years. From breaking the women's record on the Tour Divide in 2015, coming first overall on the Trans-Am bike race in 2016, breaking the women's record on the Baja Divide in 2015 and the men's record in 2017 as well as numerous other races under her belt, Lael has proven to be one of the top female endurance cyclists in the world.
