Having checked on Strava she has logged a 162km ride today, so I think there was a tracker malfunction this morning and it started late.

Oh OK.
Does that mean that the total distance on
https://www.followmychallenge.com/live/ayearinthesaddle/
is now inaccurate and short of a few kms?

rafletcher · « **Reply #651 on:** 29 October, 2016, 02:02:39 pm »

Looks like it, yes, as yesterday's total shows well down on the previous day (I'm assuming that the "details" bar graph isn't a real time reflection of distance on the day).

Kajsa did a Halloween ride, so may well be down that day.

rafletcher · « **Reply #653 on:** 04 November, 2016, 03:20:40 pm »

Hmm, getting quite close to TG's home town today. (Cue immediate northward turn!)

rafletcher · « **Reply #654 on:** 05 November, 2016, 10:13:10 am »

And it looks like I've just missed her passing the end of our lane $:-\$ . Tracker had some lag in its updates.

But it looks like she's on an out-and-back, so I might get a second chance to cheer her on

Edit: And see her I did, as she went past at a stately rate accompanied by half a dozen others.

Go Kajsa

On one of her casts (11th) I thought she said there was a group gathering?

Was hoping to ride with her at least once but this is going to be hard now with work and stuff getting in the way.

What a great effort so far though. Truly fantastic.

Might make an effort to go to that, assuming feets are cooperating. It's my last best chance to ride with Kajsa.

Basil · « **Reply #659 on:** 23 November, 2016, 03:54:43 pm »

Looking at the tracker page just now, it seems that Kajsa is only a little under 300km from Billie's record. She should pass it either Friday evening or early on Saturday.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #660 on:** 23 November, 2016, 04:12:17 pm »

Does she know where she will be for this august occurrence? I feel there needs to be some sort of celebration.

Basil · « **Reply #661 on:** 23 November, 2016, 04:57:58 pm »

Dunno. I'm not on Faceache and haven't watched her vlog for some time. It may have been discussed on either.

rafletcher · « **Reply #662 on:** 24 November, 2016, 08:37:28 am »

AFAIK there is no celebration planned for passing Billie's record. The two she has arranged are for 1) meeting her target of 50,000km (at Harvey Hadden sports centre) and 2) a final day party at the Leisure Lakes shop that's been servicing her bike.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #663 on:** 24 November, 2016, 02:13:59 pm »

Oh well, I will have to celebrate on my own then!

Kim · « **Reply #664 on:** 24 November, 2016, 02:37:18 pm »

Check my maths, but it looks like she might have done it?

mrcharly-YHT · « **Reply #665 on:** 24 November, 2016, 02:41:26 pm »

TG has just posted that she has done it.

Wowbagger · « **Reply #666 on:** 24 November, 2016, 02:44:07 pm »

Excellent work! Congratulations to Kajsa!

Kim · « **Reply #667 on:** 24 November, 2016, 02:45:03 pm »

Celebrating with scones. Who'd have thunk it? https://twitter.com/halfironmum/status/801788032953253888

Awesome.

teethgrinder · « **Reply #669 on:** 24 November, 2016, 05:00:31 pm »

Yes!
She's passed Billie's record but needs 50,000km for Guinness to accept the record, so still about 1,400 miles to go.
She should manage that within about 2 weeks.

There's a celebratory 12 mile ride around Nottingham on 11th December at 10am from

Harvey Hadden Sports Village
Wigman Road,
Nottingham
NG8 4PB

Bound to be some cake knocking around too.
A good excuse for a YACF ride.

I hope she gets a good turnout. It'd be handy for her (helpers) if she has an idea of numbers so mentioning that you're coming or interested on her Facebook event would be good. If there are a lot of non Facebookers interested, then it might be worth getting an idea of numbers here.

Well done Kajsa. Nottingham's a bit far for me to get to, but chapeau. That's five times my annual distance in a good year.

Ah, that's the reason for her recent tweet - she's continuing until 31st December, not stopping on the 11th as that news article states!

PSA: She's about to be on http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio/player/bbc_radio_nottingham apparently.
