On May 26th Lael Wilcox departed Chicago, beginning her journey to ride non-stop around the world with the intent to try and break the women’s Guinness World Record (currently held by Jenny Graham at 124 days). Lael has now been pedaling for 106 days and is less than 1,000 miles from returning to her starting point in Chicago! She’s ridden through more than 20 countries and the photo collection that Rugile Kaladyte has put together is stunning (check out a few of those below!).

As Lael rides to the finish line we encourage you to cheer her on from afar (or meet up with her along the way – follow Lael on instagram for more group ride information!). You can check out her live map here!

Rue and Lael have also been producing a daily podcast documenting the whole thing – check out their day by day recap here.

Lael has been a Revelate ambassador for many years and has helped us refine and develop gear that can withstand whatever wild adventures you throw at it. For this trip she chose the setup below:

Handlebars: Pitchfork Aerobar System

Top Tube: Mag-Tank

Seat: Spinelock 10L
