On April 21st, Lael Wilcox became the fastest person on earth to complete the Arizona  Trail. It took her 9days, 8hours and 23minutes to ride the 827mile trail from Mexico to Utah. Meanwhile, her wife, photojournalist Rugile Kaladyte documented the ride, to be able to share this incredible story. Today, Maghalie chats with Lael and Rue to hear about their stories from the trail. Talking about why and how they are able to document it, what motivates them, their headspace during the ride, and how does it feel when the alarm goes off after only 2 hours of sleep? And much more. For more information about the controversy on Lael's record, you can listen to this podcast. To learn more about Lael's gear for the ride: The Radavist Click here to follow Lael and Rue.

Lael Wilcox and Rugile Kaladyte : Stories from the AZT Record

Rue Kaladyte is a photojournalist and videographer. She started out in journalism, working for the Anchorage Daily News in Alaska, where the pressures of the 24 hour news cycle led her to seek longer form projects, including one that introduced her to her wife, Lael Wilcox. Following the closure of the newspaper, she began working full-time as a photojournalist capturing stories from ultra-endurance bike events. Now, she and Lael travel all over the world highlighting some of the most wild and challenging bikepacking routes. In this conversation, Rue and Payson talk about why she prefers living in Lael’s shadow even though she is integral to her success, why she would never have chosen to leave newspaper journalism, and why they still haven’t enjoyed a real honeymoon. She shares about the opposition she and Lael have faced from the bikepacking community about documenting events, and the hurdles they have had to jump through to show footage of Lael’s achievements.Rue also talks about a lesser known side of her story. She was born in a small village in Lithuania and moved to Chicago with her mother and sister as a child. While she returned to the country to visit family throughout her childhood, it wasn’t until college that she reconnected with Lithuania through a journalism project. In that process, she uncovered a painful story about the country that ended up hitting much closer to home than she expected. She talks to Payson about how her identity as a Lithuanian affects her work, and the trip she took with Lael to visit her father and grandfather in 2018. Instagram: @theadventurestache

Rugile Kaladyte, photojournalist and videographer

In this episode of Bike Tour Adventures, I get to chat with the organizer of the Filmed by Bike Festival, Ayleen Crotty. Unlike many of the Adventure Film Festivals out there, this festival is specifically aimed at showcasing the world best bike movies. As many bike tourers out there produce movies and short films of their adventures, I figured this is the perfect festival to highlight on the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast. I also have the privilege of having a chance to speak with Rugile Kaladyte, winner of the Filmed by Bike's Audience Choice Award for her film "I Just Want to Ride" in which she followed Leal Wilcox on her 2019 attempt at beating the fastest known time of the Tour Divide.
