In September 2024, Lael Wilcox rolled into Chicago completing a three month, 18000 mile odyssey. Lael had just broken the world record for circumnavigating the globe, breaking the previous best time by more than two weeks. This isn't the first time the Alaskan native has set a new bar for others to meet.

She's twice been the fastest finisher at the Tour Divide - racing from Banff in Canada to Antelope Wells in New Mexico and beat everyone, including to the men in the TransAm bike race from Oregon to Virginia. But Lael is more than just her record breaking feats, she's now one of the biggest names in her sport, and is using her platform to get more women and girls into the sport.

Lael joins Bobby and Jens on The Odd Tandem to discuss all of this and more.
