Kajsa is now in Sweden!

She is going well, but had a broken molar that cut short her ride... still 143 km done!
I love how her posts and blogs are all about fun and "not about the bike"

Form my armchair her mind-set seems so positive and almost taking little notice of her great achievement. What a pleasure to follow her attempt.

I do love the video diary. Kajsa seems such fun. We definitely need to get her involved here. She'd fit in really well.

I have utmost respect for Kasia and her wonderful attitude to her challenge. I still wish her the upmost best. She embodies everything I admire.

Amanda is a genetically gifted person who I will never understand or comprehend, but whom is obviously working hard to make the very most of her gift and, from a female perspective, I'd love to see her smash the current record to smithereens.

Go Kasia! Go Amanda! You are both amazing!

Looks like it might be a day off (or a much shorter one) ahead of vätternrundan.

Yep, she's in Motala today, ready for the off, after a short day yesterday.

rafletcher · « **Reply #580 on:** 18 June, 2016, 08:29:40 am »

So, she's 255km in, in 14hrs. Another 45km to go. Go Kajsa!

And she's finished - I assume her longest ever ride. Congrats

any idea of the planned routes for Kajsa? she is now very near where my dad lives and he'd love to keep her company for a day or two.

L CC · « **Reply #584 on:** 20 June, 2016, 10:30:55 am »

Your best bet is to message her directly via Facebook. She or her minions are generally very quick to respond and she loves company.

clarion · « **Reply #585 on:** 22 June, 2016, 04:02:39 pm »

She had a small off

But found time to visit the zoo. Long story - see FB.

As don't do Faceache, I don't know kajsa's plans, but if she manages an average ride today, she'll reach half distance. 25000 km.

Auntie Helen · « **Reply #587 on:** 27 June, 2016, 03:06:52 pm »

Yep, photo posted of her at 25,000km

rafletcher · « **Reply #588 on:** 27 June, 2016, 03:42:23 pm »

Her "live tracker" has her 12km short still, but either way she'll pass it today for sure

Edit: Well I assume that, as she's now stopped her Garmin is telling her she's done the 25000

Edit again: She's off again, so I guess even her tracker will sjow 25,00+ (she's 4km short @ 16:00)

clarion · « **Reply #589 on:** 28 June, 2016, 10:32:06 am »

Despite (or maybe because of) reaching the half way point, Kajsa reports that she's feeling a bit low, and asks us all not to get bored. And she says it's midgey. Well, I think she's in Finland, so that's not unexpected.

While the videos keep coming, there's no chance of getting bored!

And love to Tina for getting a fit of giggles while Kajsa is trying to record a serious bit.

rafletcher · « **Reply #590 on:** 01 July, 2016, 09:09:58 am »

Well she's soldiering on, but not in a great frame of mind at the moment (though I suspect she'll bounce back as she has before) having lost / had stolen her fave Bolle sunnies, and also trying to break in a new Brooks saddle. Courage Kajsa.

rafletcher · « **Reply #591 on:** 08 July, 2016, 08:42:45 pm »

Nice to see her laughing today after some downbeat recent vlogs. Go Kajsa.

Hummers · « **Reply #592 on:** 10 July, 2016, 11:38:12 am »

I have it in mind to join her on a ride in December.

She's due back on 22nd July according to her calendar. http://www.ayearinthesaddle.com/#!routes/cso5 As Fboab has mentioned in the past, if you contact Kajsa via her Facebook page she'll reply there.

This Sunday she is competing in the Challenge Roth Ironman - go Kajsa!! And good luck!

EDIT: Actually she did the bike ride portion, and 2 minions did the run and swim - but she avreaged 25kph for the 100 miles, and is well pleased. Good to see her looking chipper

rafletcher · « **Reply #595 on:** 21 July, 2016, 07:39:15 am »

Well from her latest video diary she seems to have rediscovered her mojo somewhat, which is great to see.

teethgrinder · « **Reply #596 on:** 22 July, 2016, 10:26:51 am »

Kajsa is now back in England and on her way home via Essex and Cambs.
She's through her bad patch and seems to be going better than ever.
Probably following a similar route home to her outbound route, via the Gravesend Tilbury ferry.

clarion · « **Reply #597 on:** 05 August, 2016, 09:46:45 am »

Downbeat video last night. Seems Kajsa doesn't think anyone is watching. Go give her some Likes, folks!

Polar Bear · « **Reply #598 on:** 05 August, 2016, 10:24:41 am »

I guess that riding every day is a huge psychological strain. Sometimes we all need to know that we're not alone.

She needs an infectious dose of YACF hospitality methinks.

mrcharly-YHT · « **Reply #599 on:** 05 August, 2016, 10:33:17 am »

She isn't mentioning many people riding with her anymore.

I made a 'sweat pledge' of getting fit enough to ride with her and doing that. Isn't going to happen. Sent her my apologies.
