Still struggling along, the heat has been brutal and we once again availed ourselves of the van.

[note: I couldn't login to Imgur on my phone using a VPN, so I'm posting these daily updates a few days after the ride]

Even so though, I'm happy we're getting in around 70km a day at least. ???️

Sigrid has been in great spirits! Although she doesn't love it when I get her wet to cool her down.

Donations are going great, although we are in second place on the team. Think we'll make it to first? ?

How dare they not let Sigrid stay for breakfast! Do they not know who she is? What was the place so we can Yelp bomb them. /s

Hah! TBF, I'm allergic to cats, but I adore Sigrid (I would take Benadryl and risk it)

I never considered Sigi's weight as a factor, but then I remembered to bicycle racers, every ounce matters. I'm not surprised you could feel a difference without her!

With the camera equipment, basket and her it's like 10 extra kilograms!

I was thinking it’s not just her but her basket and accoutrements.

I have to say she looks mighty content riding in your lap!

A few people asked how I could leave Sigrid in the van during breakfast when it's so hot - we eat very early so we can get on the road and cycle all day! It's not hot at all parked in the shade at 7am. Almost chilly actually!

For future reference in case you need to keep her in a vehicle under any other circumstances Teslas have what they call "dog mode" which puts up a helpful message and ensures the temperature stays comfortable. As a bonus, no more burning petrol!
