'I just want to ride'

Pretty impressive mini movie on the tour divide following Lael Wilcox . Does look amazing and the athletes who do this are something else. Some beautiful scenery on show and when you watch this is makes Mike Halls record quite staggering.

I have every respect for Lael Wikcix but I was disappointed in tbe film. Much better to watch "Divided" featuring Lee Craigie and Rickie Cotter. It shows more of the route and the people.

Watched it the other day and, whilst i enjoyed the vid from perspective of backstory to Lael & her quest to ride (as scotroutes, i have massive respect for Lael), it didn't quite capture what i was hoping in what its really like to ride the Tour Divide (particularly in what is a surprisingly short 38mins) and actually it was more a collection of some lovely shots with some interesting interviews.

...I preferred Sweary Daves for understanding what its really like to ride the divide!

I enjoyed it. She’s quite an inspirational character. Good luck to her. However,I also preferred the sweary Dave reportage.. 🙂

Sweary Dave's film is about as real as it gets and I love it for that. An Everymans account of the Divide.
Enjoyed the Lael Wilcox film too and other stuff by her. She seems like a happy person.
