Half way and on course for the record
The current world record is held by
Paola Gianotti
The current women's record is 144 days for Paola Gianotti who started and finished at Ivrea, Turin, Italy, from 8 March to 30 November 2014. This was a supported ride. During her voyage, on 16 May 2014, Gianotti was injured in a road accident which resulted in a fractured vertebra. Although the Guinness World Record rules state that the clock does not stop, Gianotti's time was frozen for four months till she recovered and resumed her attempt on 18 September 2014. Her route is here. Although its legitimacy is much debated, this is currently the official female record.[10][11]
And that was supported with a 4 month break. She's on course to not only break it but beat most of the previous male participants in it and is getting a 20th of the publicity

Very impressive, and the second half appears to be far simpler from a logistics point of view. Although im sure the riding is still incredibly hard.

Looks as if it's sorted to a ridable degree since she's now 240km beyond Dawson Creek in Valleyview, 350km short of a proper fix in Edmonton, if that really is the closest replacement bb. So it's a case of 'hope it lasts the next 350km' now.
That's it, she's made it across North America. Next stop Lisbon
I think she's behind the schedule she set for herself. One interview said she was aiming for 110 days and if I read it right she's on a 111 days now. It seemed to take her ages to get across North America compared to Russia and China. Let's hope she can still beat the current 144 day record.
