Still following it and very much enjoying her year.

I think it is something of a vicarious enjoyment following someone who is doing something that I can't.

For those that are interested, I've just updated https://goo.gl/lYClYG and brought it up to date.

Thanks for that. Useful to see the data update.

Well despite her leg issues the last three days have been good ones.

Looks like Kajsa may have returned home after only 41km today. Hope all is well.

edit: oh, up on Strava now - off to the docs for saddle sore issues.

I know how troublesome that can be. Hope she can shake that off soon.

It's been a bit of an issue for her for quite a while I believe. I'm sure she has all our sympathies.

Yet another Kajsa video leaves me in tears...

...of laughter!

We have to get her involved with yacf when she's not quite so busy. She'd fit right in!

Not saddle sores - a boil. Loads of fun when they finally burst.

Will it feature on her daily video, I wonder?

I had that same problem a number of years ago, its not nice.

Kajsa is heading towards York on Tues!

Deano · « **Reply #510 on:** 08 March, 2016, 10:59:44 pm »

Aye, she's close to Boroughbridge tonight. Shame I'm at work (and chasing off a cold, no chance I'd go and infect her)

Nuncio · « **Reply #511 on:** 09 March, 2016, 12:33:11 pm »

She's consistently banging in the hundred milers now, presumably because of more daylight hours. Bravo to her for the longest ride of the year so far (I think) yesterday, at 195km.

Horribly wet out here today - not best weather for long miles (or saddle sores).

Hence the photo of Marigolds I suspect!

Past 10,000km, and a familiar face (Teethgrinder) on today's vid.

I'm loving following the Kajsa and her mum videos they've been posting up. They are quite a double act.
She has a great positive mental attitude, and I really hope she does this.

She seems like an ordinary woman, setting her sights to an extraordinary dream.

For a woman where cycling is not her way of life, unlike some others on here, I really hope that she succeeds, and I'll be rooting for her every step of the way.

Apparently Mr Abraham is going to be renting a tandem with a recumbent front, so that he can ~~ferry~~ help one of Kaja's friends (said friend has an injured shoulder) to accompany her on a ride.

teethgrinder · « **Reply #518 on:** 17 March, 2016, 08:26:48 am »

I'll be off to collect it from Blue Yonder near Cambridge in a bit, then it'll be used to help Jo with her RRTY Lesley Sung with an Easter Arrow, then I've offered my services to injures souls and friends of Kajsa who want to do a day with her.
I'll be doing two days with her friend Cath. 9th and 10th April. There is talk of me taking Kajsa's mum out, possibly Bumble too! Depending on how feasable that is.

I can definitely recommend riding with Kajsa. Very steady. She'll be doing a 100 mile ride starting from C&C site near Thetford this Sunday 20th March, starting at 7am. Maybe just go and meet her at the cafe (and buy her a scone?)

She's looking very good to me. Her legs are still tired but I think she has improved over the last month. Her mileage is going up and she seems to have a little bit more strength. I think she has the right mental approach too. I went up to help and give advice last weekend, but there really wasn't much I could do other than keep her company. If anything, I learned a few things from her.

Perhaps we can set up a YACF camping weekend to a C&C site and invite Kajsa, her mum and Bumble along? Probably best to ask her via Facebook. She'll be off to Europe for several months at the end of May.

That sounds fantastic, Steve.

Oh dear. Bottom problems. Chilblains.

It always comes back to arses eventually, doesn't it? Good to see she's keeping a sense of humour.

I would love to do something like that.

Do you have any dates in mind Hummers?
She will be off to Europe about 20th May and coming back sometime in August.
