Lael Rides Alaska

Lael Wilcox is a 4th generation Alaskan and an ultradistance cyclist. In 2014, she began pushing her limits in her home state and dreamed that one day, shed ride all of the major roads in Alaska connecting the dots and traveling under her own steam to places shed heard of but never seen. In 2017, after her first year running Anchorage GRIT, Lael spent the summer riding all of the roads, some 4, 500 miles. She had the time of her life but rode mostly solo, and that experience was all her own. In reflection, she wanted to share moreto show people the beauty and truth of Alaska and inspire more people to ride there. The global pandemic of 2020 provided a unique opportunity to revisit this projectride from home, spend time with her family, bring them along, and encourage others to pursue their own adventures.
