EP 01: Lael’s Around the World Route & Guinness Record Rules

This summer, I'm riding around the world to try and break the women's Guinness World Record (currently held by Jenny Graham at 124 days). I have to ride a minimum of 18,000 miles (29,000km). The route isn't set and that's part of the fun!  I asked Bea & Luca, expert route builders and race organizers, to design my track through Europe. In this episode, we go over the rules and talk about the route. I don't love planning, but every time I look at a map, I'm filled with excitement for the big ride! I'm starting on May 26 in Chicago and I'll be publishing an episode every day-- 10-20 minutes to share stories from the road.
