Lael Wilcox has been incredibly busy lately, even relative to her normally hectic schedule. When she decided to make Emporia the last stop of her Lael Rides Around the World film tour (which just became publicly available this week), she also determined she couldn't leave empty-handed and added Unbound XL to her calendar. And this is just a couple of weeks ahead of her lining up for the Tour Divide grand depart.

Lael kindly took a few minutes out of her breakfast time to let me check out her boldly painted Specialized Diverge, which appears to be the same revised model we reported on earlier this week, with a few extra accoutrements to take her through the 350-mile Unbound XL course.
