When you love something, do it.
Seems like a boy . I just want to be inspired byba feminine woman
I think I know where this is going. I have a few clarifying questions though:
Does she have any experience with fishing operations, specifically shrimping?
Has she served in the Army?
Does she have an affinity for Dr. Pepper?
Well done beats working
i dont understand the obsession. How does someone ride their bike all day, then wake up the next day wanting to do it all over again, and then for an entire year… I'm on the bike for a day and although fun, its not something i wanna do every single day
That lady is very cool. Thanks for the video!
Usa Bike. Cycling. Girl.

What a badasss
With her record on Tour Divide, she made approx 177 miles a day, two weeks nonstop. .. off the road. I mean, how crazy it is? I follow her recently on Strava, she goes around the world with 180 miles per day (on a road bike though – what a cheating 😂😂😂
Kooky
Precious!
I watched this video long ago and forgot the name of the yt channel ,just found out really happy to watch it ❤
I remember reading this story online several years ago. She's an amazing athlete!
Gorgeous ❤.
Gorgeous ❤.
best of the best
She should try riding around the world like Lael lol
WOWW!! I’m truly impressed. What an inspiration❤️
Also, how do heck does she get enough fuel with all that riding?!
Not sure why she's in a hurry. Lots of stuff to see along the way. I don't understand racing. Especially on a bike. Slow the roll.
Wow!!! Where is she in 2025?
When you find your passion and can make a living with it ! The best gift of all.
"Yeh I just stay on the bike..that's how I win"
What a force 👏
And she did it again recently. Absolutely crazy. I started cycling 3 years ago and I cannot even imagine doing this.
🔥💞
Avg. 77 miles a day – assuming she takes the weekend off…
55 miles a day is nothing really.
Totally AMAZING ❣️😵💫
