Kajsa Tylen: The Billie Dovey 81 miles a day progress thread

[Dogtrousers]

Kajsa's back in the UK and I'm now on the train returning from a day's riding with her. Well, half a day actually, we both started from Dover but I didn't catch up til Faversham due to navigational numptyism.

Kajsa was as charming and funny as you'd expect from her videos, and it was great to have been a small (1/730th) part of her big challenge.

Well done mate

I've not done a graph for a while. Now she's back from the Continong seems a good time.

Kajsa's still on track for her 50,000km target. Her continental trip had some ups and downs, but finished on about the same rate as it started. Her difficulties riding round the Gulf of Finland caused a decline which she seems to have arrested.

Kajsa passed 30,000km today.

So here's a graph showing her progress against her 50,000km target. It's her lead against a notional rider going at exactly the required rate. You can see that since her return to the UK in mid July she's been very consistent and has started building up her lead past 3 days.

Her Strava profile is showing an annual total that's 230km out. I've informed her of this. I don't think she's too bothered, but it's bugging the hell out of me. I really should spend more time on my bike and less messing around with data.

It's probably from duplicate rides (from the multiple garmins) that have been deleted. Emailed customer services about that for myself after it screwed up my totals!

Did they fix it?

 

[tallliman]

@Dogtrousers, yes and pretty quickly!

Cheers. I noticed Kajsa tweeted to Strava Support yesterday, so maybe they'll sort it. It's still wrong at the moment.

A catch-up on videos.

Kajsa thinks this is her most boring diary. I actually disagree, I think it's one of the best, but I realise that may be quite an esoteric opinion. (If you watch it you may be able to guess why I'm so keen on this particular one )

Anyhoo. Time for a bit of cheerleading...

She seems to think we aren't watching any more, so if you're active on FB, or Twitter or whatever, go and give her a like, or a comment or something to let her know the support is still out there.

GO KT!

Isn't that a bog standard micro USB phone or Kindle or *insert name of rechargeable gizmo* charger?

I have no idea, she just put this out on twitter so I thought Id give it some airtime here too.

its an Edge 810

Edit. So I think what she probably needs is a mini (not micro) USB cable plus charger. But I don't know.

Anyone with a yacf login might want to pass the word there
