Lael Wilcox

Ultra Endurance cyclists push themselves to the limit. Attempting their Fastest Known Times can be the ultimate test of physical and mental fortitude. Riders cover vast distances across day and night in all out battle against the clock to establish a new FKT. GCN+ follows the Alaskan born Lael Wilcox, one of the worlds toughest bikepack racer’s, as she traverses the state of Oregon, tackling the remote outback route on America's East coast in an attempt to set a new Fastest Known Time. In the self supported effort which crosses the mountainous state, Lael will need to ride non stop covering 586KM in under 27hours 27minutes across some of America's most challenging gravel terrain. We learn about Laels spirited and vibrant approach to bike pack exploration within the dynamic landscapes of volcanic mountains, high desert terrain, and arid shrubland as we watch in awe as she takes on this superhuman effort.

In 2024, Lael Wilcox set a new world record for circumnavigation of the Earth by bicycle. For 108 days, 12 hours, and 12 minutes, she rode, joined by friends and fans, with her journey documented by Rugile Kaladyte. This is the film of that ride, filled with highs and lows, incredible roads, friends, and fans. Beyond the record, it's about the experience and the connections made, and how the bicycle makes it possible.
