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

[tallliman]

I wonder if this could make Kajsa's attempt easier going forward. Avoiding headwinds is a massive benefit in this windy Isle.

Just to add that Jo is running a chart on the Dovey record, just like his Godwin one, tough you'll have to change the settings to get the right graph

Its a bit worrying that she is suffering from an overuse knee problem. But she seems to be pretty wise in not fighting battles that she doesn't have to so she can throw in shorter days when the weather or her knee demands.

From Jo the graph master (and a whole lot more than that too)

Yes she doesn't seem to be doing anything particulaly daft does she, getting extra miles in when the going's good, and then throttling back if she needs/wants to.

A nice little blog about the first day of my challenge - thanks, Jack! smile emoticon (why the link says Kajsa Tewin I've no idea, doesn't say it anywhere on the page!)

Agreed, doing 10 mile pretty pan flat loops today in the massive winds is another example. If I wasn't busy this morning I'd have headed up to meet her.

That's right, here it is in case anybody else feels like a spin with Kajsa today.

Because of the weather forecast, I will be doing this loop all day... Yes, I may be brain dead after a short while, so if anyone fancies keeping me company for a loop or two, I'd appreciate it! It's so I'm close to home should I need to call it a day.

Looks like Kajsa managed 104km on her circuits, a little under her target average of 137km.

Hopefully it's all part of the plan.

She's ridden longer than the average when conditions allow, presumably to allow for days such as today.

Yeah, her vlogs are saying a lot about how she is feeling on a day. I think with 'only' 81 miles a day needed, she feels that doing 50-60 makes sense when the conditions require it. It's a lot different to needing 205 miles a day!!
