I rode with Kajsa today.
I drove for 3 hours to Dedgum in the middle of nowhere in Friesland which was the campsite where she would stay tonight. I then hoicked the trike out of the car and set off on the route she sent me towards Amsterdam.
This included crossing the 30km long Afsluitsdijk which creates the IJsselmeer and was very impressive. I had a strong headwind across and zillions of insects too. I took it easy on the outward journey not using my electric motor as I thought I might need it for the return trip with Kajsa.
I used the tracker to check where she was which gave me enough time for some lunch, then I headed off further in her direction, eventually spotting her about 5 kilometres from Den Oever.
We rode together, this time me using my E-Assist (level 6 out of 9 gave me roughly the right speed). We had a brilliant tailwind so did the Afsluitsdijk in the other direction WAY faster. We had a good chat along the way of course.
We did a slight extra bit at the end to get Kajsa her first ever 200km day.
She and her Mum gave me a cup of tea and a slice of the apple cake they raved about on the video yesterday, then I drove home again (another 3 hours).
It was well worth the trip - not just to ride with Kajsa but also to explore some of the lovely Friesland scenery and of course that amazing dike!
