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

Its Kajsa not Kasja btw.

There's a similar name in Finland too, pronounced the same (or similar) but there they spell it with an I not a J, "Kaisa" which (unusually for Finnish) is less confusing.

However, this link says it's a Swedish diminutive form of Karin.

The vlog for day 34, an obviously emotional Kajsa has had a rough day out on the roads, however something has cheered her up, but you'll have to watch til the end to find out what;

If you're around and about perhaps you'd like to join in on Saturday, here's the route if you're up for it;

So here's the route I've come up with, based on various suggestions and what appears to be a decent place to stop for a cuppa and lunch (Berkeley Tea Rooms). This will give us a headwind in the morning and a tailwind in the afternoon. I've checked the roads on Google Maps and there appear to be no off-road sections, so I'm really spoiling whoever is joining this ride! smile emoticon

@Shaun might find that a good watch.

Yeah, I wonder how she knew?

Poor lass, she looks really tired and fed up in the latest vlog. Hope today is a better one for you @Kajsa

Yep, thoroughly fed up, which is totally understandable. I would imagine we've all had days where it feels like just about every overtake is a close one and every other driver beeps or shouts obscenities.

 

[Dogtrousers]

Oddly enough she's chosen a hillier route today. Perhaps she's staying away from the main roads.

Steve Abraham planning to join Kajsa this weekend.

I'll be setting off from home Friday 5th February to the Blackmore Camping and Caravaning site, Hanley Swan, near Great Malvern, Worcestershire. Then I'll be riding with Kajsa doing her Year in The Saddle on Saturday and Sunday. Kajsa would like company on her rides, but there are a few rules.
I'll be taking it very easy riding over to the campsite. It's about 80 miles from Milton Keynes and I expect to stop a few times along the way. Anyone is welcome to join me on the way. ...I'll switch on my live SPOT tracker so it's easier for anyone to join me on the way.
I hope to set off early in the morning but have no time planned. Suggestions welcome. I'll be camping in my tent, but if that's not for you, there are hotels nearby. A Wetherspoons hotel in Great Malvern. Tewkesbury is about 10 miles away and has a Wetherspoons hotel, Travelodge and Premier Inn. But I expect most will only want to do a day, or part of a day.

They should have some interesting conversation ! (What, stopping already, Kajsa ? - we've only done 105 miles, just getting warmed up ... )

Good on Steve - I'm sure he will really inspire and motivate Kajsa.

At least Kajsa had a tailwind in the rain this morning. I hope it was lovely because as a headwind, it was horrid!!

Glad that SA is joining her for the day!

Hoorah we got a mention

What an awful day they had. Im glad mum was around to give her a hug.

Tomorrows another day and hopefully a better one.

I hope today was better Kajsa.
