She rides 20,000 miles a year. Really.

I think I have a new hero. Plus, she seems like she'd be a hoot to ride with.

Here's a long interview with her from PLP: https://youtu.be/6155-Tow9nA?t=1s.

Okay
My rear end hurts just thinking about that many miles.

Good on her for following her passion. She'd be fun to hang out with but not compete against.

No, she won't, you would totally hate it!


"Hey honey, do you think we can maybe stop at the next town and catch some sleep for a couple of hours?"
- "No, we are not going to do that! Sleep is absolutely optional on this trip."

"Er...Dear, look over there! That's a public bathroom. We can take a quick shower there..."
- "No! We are not wasting any time taking a shower, we gotta keep going!"

"Sunshine, do you think we can maybe stop to take a leak?"
- "You are such a pain! Go ahead and pee in your pants, why stop?"

"My precious, we can take a cab or a bus home once we reach our destination, I am looking forward to it."
- "Are you kiddin' me?! I just got started here. We gonna finish the 30,000 miles tomorrow and then continue on riding home for another 60,000 miles."

Wow! I feel like a slug...I only manage a measily 5-6k a year...on a good year!

I have been following her career, ultra events intrigue me... the one thing I have noticed is that her attire has changed from casual tshirts and baggy shorts to what appears like cycling clothes. Looks more comfortable and faster (no extra fabric flapping around in the wind).

Well if I could fast forward her age to 95, perhaps I could ride to the pub with her. She would likely drink me under the table.

She's riding a 1x in that video. Makes me feel better about my 1x basket/city build.

[ripvanrando]

Strong rider she is. I was on a long climb at 310 watts and she came by me like I was absolutely standing still.

OCD on a trust fund.

I thought this was going to be about one of my new “followers” on Strava.

[OtayBW]

Interesting that she seems so outside of the bicycling culture - e.g., no conventional clothing. Amazing that she is entirely self-supported. Takes a real kind of mindset to do that....

I always wonder how folks can support this lifestyle, where the income is from, etc. I don’t begrudge them — just curious about the “revenue model”, if you will.

What a sad response.
