To all the women who have wanted to take on a big, bad-ass bikepacking route in Alaska, read up!

“The “Lael Rides Alaska” Women’s Scholarship is available to one female rider who will design and ride a 1,000 mile route in Alaska during the summer of 2018. Based off of Lael Wilcox’s 2017 summer project to ride all of the major roads in Alaska, this scholarship is intended to enable another woman to engage in her own bicycle adventure in Alaska.”

Check out more details below and how you can enter!

Thanks to the generous support of Specialized Bicycles and Revelate Designs, the recipient of the scholarship will receive:

• Specialized Diverge bicycle, helmet, and shoes
• Revelate Designs bikepacking bags
• 10,000 Alaska Air miles courtesy of Revelate Designs
• Big Agnes tent, sleeping bag, sleeping pad
• Patagonia apparel
• GU Nutrition
• copy of The Milepost guidebook
• $1000 community funded travel stipend (minimum amount)

The recipient will be expected to share their trip on Instagram while traveling and provide a blog post for Specialized, Revelate Designs and Big Agnes after the trip concludes. Application deadline is March 17, 2018. The recipient will be announced on March 26, 2018.
