24:02 Lady, you're adorable person and it's amazing what you do. F**k the facebook and other "social media" crap!!! Forget about the haters. Live your life and do what you do best. If it's riding bicycles - great!. You head for the record? You do it for yourself! Nobody else! Others will just have to face it, if they're brave enough.

Lael, if you ever see this comment! You do your thing so incredibly well, I can hardly describe it! And these people from the Facebook group have no idea. In the end, it's your own conviction and your own strength that gets you through the Tour Divide! And that includes thoughts and conversations to and with your loved ones, phone calls with all your supporters and the absolute freedom to do what you want to do! Please flush away all bad conscience and worries and do what you want to do, because you do it so incredibly well! And if people from a sleepy, lazy and incompetent Facebook group don't allow you to enjoy your incredible success, then pity them, but don't pay any attention to them! Best wishes from Austria and you are, on a par with Lachlan Morton, the most inspiring person in terms of cycling history that I have ever had the pleasure of getting to know (so far only through videos and media)! Keep up the good work!

It’s interesting that they got upset about your emotional support. That’s ridiculous. Do they test for doping? I’ll bet there is plenty of that going on among you.

don't know how "longest dirt touring route in the world" is defined exactly but the European Divide Trail has over 7500 km or 4660 miles

I'm trail angel, I met you Lael my home last year. I tried to provide knowledge of my home on route Facebook two years. Many and most these Facebook groups did me wrong, threatening by some, guys got to be stupid threatening me out wilderness home on a bike. Threatening me middle of mountains there is not 911. I own akita wolf, most own lots of guns, your on a bike. Facebook groups suck! Bonnie the worst. Lael thanks for pictures together!

Wow! Just great. A massive inspiration. In 2016, I was 42 and halfway through school. I was burned out on school I made a spontaneous decision to buy a bike, take a leave of absence and ride coast to coast. In two weeks I was on my way to Oregon to start my ride. Now, 8 "much too soon" years later I'm 50 and need another challenge and I think this is it. I will transform my Surly longhaul Trucker into a gravel tour bike. What's cool is I use to be a long trucker and I own a business in Deming, NM which is a very short distance from Antelope Wells. Fortunately I'm a travel nurse now so time off is not an issue. This video really triggered the emotions I felt on my first trip and I think I may need this. Who knows, maybe I'll see another commenter out there!

If I was racing , I' d consider media crew more like disadvantage interms of distraction and additional worries/ complications. The girlfriend story is than the most absurd bullshit. I mean, it's like if you disqualified tennis player because his family cheers and watch him at Wimbledon. I mean... BTW, great bike, would like to know more details. I am just right about to build my first dropbar MTB!

Thank you for the document. Gravel bike brought me back to my childhood, where we only have one universal bike, crappy of course, but we drive everywhere. And gravel is the same. You do not have to think about the quality of the road. Nothink can stop you. Great feeling.
