That was great, thanks for sharing! (Cool to see her casually cruising up Skyline Drive, that thing is a grind...)

Thanks Weisan for posting that!
That woman is such an inspiration - she is living her best life!

This had me dying. Had the same thought as I scrolled past the group photo. Missed my chance to be a part of the throng early in her tour as she rolled through NYC, so maybe I'm just jealous.

I didn't call in sick the day she was southbound past Seattle and I still regret it, not just because that day was full of meetings that weren't much fun. If you have the chance to go cheer her on her way, please do it!

Holy smokes, passing a few min from home in NJ. Hopefully I will be able to ride along a bit...

Bad news Merckxman, she passed thru NJ at the beginning of June. She has been around the world and now heading back and finishing up in Chicago.

Oh no...I was just looking at the map.

Is there any easy way to determine when she will ride through Santa Monica?

It would be great to join. The tracker would suggest Thursday or Friday, sadly which are work days.

No easy way afaik. I kept track of her dot and average speed (~15mph) but to get an idea but it's bit of a guessing game...

The tracker seems to take much longer than the 60 second refresh rate shown at the bottom.

I have a friend riding w/her right now!!! So stoked. Seems like such a neat lady and just on another level.

I appreciate the post yesterday that got her recent quest on my radar. I just wish I had been following this journey from the beginning as she passed within a mile from where I was, unbeknownst to me. DRAT.

Don't be too hard on yourself, she's been trucking. I had to debate with myself whether I should take a whole sick day to try to catch her because she was on pace to go from Bellingham all the way to the southern part of Washington in one day. Not easy to catch up with someone who's knocking out 160/70/80 mile days!

[bshell]

I know she didn't start endurance stuff yesterday but I cannot for the life of me get my mind around riding EVERY day, much less @180miles/day with god knows how much elevation.

I am the softest.

I know it's not her thing, or her talent, but I would love to see her on a womens pro team for a year. specialized can easily make it happen.

Looks like Thursday to me. As much as I prefer to avoid PCH, I'm thinking about trying to intersect with her and join for a few miles.

Wow, Lael's already in Ventura!

Her partner Rue made this short video when she rode through SF: https://www.instagram.com/rapha_n_am...ChUy_sv/?hl=en
