Amy Hudson does the Tour de France

Full disclosure, I haven't managed to watch anything but maybe the first 5 minutes of her video when she was starting off.
How is she getting on, and is she on schedule as things stand?

She is doing well. On day 5 completed stage 4, now on the transfer route to Caen for stage 5 a TT , which she plans to ride later today also.

Stage 5 done! Surprised she didn’t break out the aero-barred bike for the TT. Being ridden under a ‘heat dome’ too.

Excellent news, I will try and catch up with some of it in the coming days.

I fancy having a crack at that 22 Months seems reasonable!🤣🤣🤣

Looking good with LEL type distance and time remaining.

Watched day 1 yesterday. Good start

Just watched day 2. Kyle leaves porridge behind and she’s not happy. Stickers drop out of pocket. Mascot goes missing.

I will watch day 3 later as I catch up

A 30 min video per stage is about right. Short enough it can be snacked on, long enough to get a sense of each stage.

I notice she uses the term "burner" to describe a tough hill. Is this a cycling expression that I've not heard of is it an Amy-ism?

I think a burner is harder than a kicker, but I could be wrong.

Not a term I’ve heard before either, likely an Amyism but you get the idea pretty quick.

As previously mentioned I'm not her biggest fan, however kudos goes to her actually doing it and showing it warts an all. Not only that doing it for a MH charity and she's been genuinely gobsmacked by how quickly she surpassed her target.

Not one I am familiar with, so fairly sure it is an Amy-ism - I think she uses it as in burner = leg burner.
She also has cod loins as well.

I would definitely say a burner is longer and likely harder than a kicker - a kicker for me is a shorter and likely sharper type of climb.

I think Molly is more impressive when you read about her injuries.

Is it necessary to make comparisons? Surely both are magnificent achievements!
