This came in the mail yesterday from the UK. Do you think it's a hint?



Usual trolling followed, however it may be that the Searvogels are considering a world tour;

Phil WhitehurstThe next London Edinburgh London 1400km brevet is end of July 2017. I reckon you'll both be free by then, and you'll get a chance of a long ride with Steven Abraham and a few others. smile emoticon

Alicia SearvogelChris, we've had genuinely great support from the UK. We've been talking about riding over there in the near future. Would be a great follow up to this whole adventure.

Anyone familiar with shipping things overseas. I might be shipping a bike, frame or wheels to some locations in europe and I was looking for the most economical way to do this. Thanks in advance.

Kurt has me doing compu-trainer workouts alternating hills one day and flats the next. Looking at starting in a few weeks if all goes well.



Irene RichardsonAlicia i hope hes not got you riding the hills as we all know kurt doesn't "like" hills ( or rain, or wind) so hes gotta be fair with you right?! ( i'm trying to be funny here) Good luck in your new adventure, we will be following & cheering you on from over here in blighty. You both are awesome, and slightly mad ........... Tim & irene

Kurt SearvogelAlicia Searvogel had a great training ride today knocking 14 minutes off her time. Which is close to a 10% improvement on her hill workout. She has a 56 mile trainer workout tomorrow. Then another day of hills before doing back to back centuries in L.R. on friday and Saturday. Training is progressing nicely.

Kajsa seems to be making the most of the nice weather with back to back centuries yesterday and Tuesday. She's recovered some of her losses from bad weather and sore legs earlier this month and is now back ahead of the required rate for 50,000km and about 240miles ahead of virtual Billie. (Assuming virtual Billie is riding exactly 81.1mpd)

 

[tallliman]

Another century today. Very impressive.

 

[Aravis]

Taking advantage of the weather forecast to get a wind assisted out-and-back ride is pretty cool.

Vlog 54 & 55, Kajsa is feeling it a little it would appear, but she has got some top support;

Steve AbrahamYou're doing very well. Jan and Feb is the coldest and toughest time of year IMO and you're around the average daily mileage needed. If you can get those legs feeling better ASAP then I think you might be surprised how much easier things will feel with legs that don't hurt and warmer weather. 240 miles in 12 hours is different to riding every day like you are. You're doing great.

What a nice guy

Day 56 and as we already know Kajsa rides a century, which if my maths is correct makes it three days on the bounce

GO KAJSA!!!!

Another ton today.

Kajsa describes becoming used to being punched in the face, and draining the spit out of a euphonium.

I nipped out at dinner time and bloody hell it was cold, much kudos to her for getting out and doing 110 miles - four consecutive 100s I think
