Just read about it on Faceboke and she plans to do a wee bit more to round it up to 1000miles

Thanks DrP, it's an amazing thing to attempt, I hope she manages it. I am following on FB.

Nice to see that you look in here now and again - hope you and TF are well!

Yes, she is amazing!

I'm very well thanks, although not doing enough cycling at the mo! Must get on here more often.. (TF not around anymore BTW. Long story..) Hope you're well?

I don't normally hang around here, so missed this.

Go Jasmijn!

She's due to go past my workplace/give me a run for my money on the commute home later.

2 counties down. Now in Taunton, 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

Going well

Her schedule is here. The schedule on the tracker appears to be a crude linear projection, so it's overstating how far she is ahead of plans. And the tracking is a bit flaky, so it's underestimating distance and hence actual average speed - I reckon by about 10 - 15% if the schedule is reliable. All of which means that the 18.6mph reported average to get through and beyond Bristol is probably more like 20mph.

Yeah. The tracker is currently saying 186 miles, but 20 minutes ago they tweeted they were past the 200mile make.

200 miles, including rush hour Bristol, in less than 10 hours? That's astonishing.

Aye - she's got the wind behind her this bit. https://www.ventusky.com/ ? Wind looks a lot tougher once she's "round the corner" . And I sure as anything hope she's got better weather than Yorkshire just now . Go, lass, go.

As @jefmcg notes above the tracker data may well be under-reporting.

Technically @srw noted it, I just added some data.

And at the same time there's a male JOG-LE-JOG record attempt going on; the two riders' paths crossed earlier today.
