    Jasmijn Muller is currently on track to smash the women's LEJOG record (currently 2d 4hr and 45 min). In the first 24hr she did 419 miles at 17.5mph (a speed I'd struggle to maintain for 1 hr).
    She'll be heading to these parts Carnwath-Kirknewton-Queensferry-Inverkeithing-Kelty between about 10am and 2pm today and is looking for folks to cheer her on.

    Her schedule is here,but note she is about 2hrs ahead ATM

    The progress chart is here

    and the entertaining twitter feed is here

    Carnwath main street is closed. That can be navigated easily and the A70 this morning had corking wind assist

    Disappointed to see that something seems to have brought the ride to an end. The Twitter feed doesn't say what, but it looks from the progress chart like her pace was dropping off.

    Interesting write up by Steve Abraham who was part of the support crew here

    Seems that she maybe went in without enough sleep banked, was physically strong, but just "spaced out" quite early on.

    Still an amazing ride 419 miles in the first 24 hrs....
