One More Lap Around The World

124 days or less, that’s what it’ll take for Vedangi‬ to break the Women’s around-the-world cycling record. This 25-year-old adventure lover is no stranger to big bikepacking challenges but this could be her toughest ride yet.

Vedangi’s trip will be at least 29,000km and she’ll tackle every one of these KM’s unsupported. This is not just a World Record attempt. This means more to Vedgani, it’s about inspiring others and breaking down barriers. Starting India. Vedangi’s Indian passport makes travel extremely complex. For this reason, the route will never be the most direct or the fastest.

For Vedangi, this only adds to the adventure. To read more about the record and follow her journey, roll on over to Tailfin’s blog.
