    Looks like she is credited with 162nd place in stage 2, set to go out tomorrow at 9:05 (?).

    Pavey took 70th on the stage.

    Go Wales! :freaky

    This is so cool. What an impressive young lady! Her enthusiasm and perseverance are in inspiration.

    Ride safely, J!

    Km at a time, stage at a time, day at a time.

    The big one day is coming, reserve for that.

    Don't wear nickers, boxer type shorts or non at all.

    JennyMo calls in and fills us in on her last two days. Yesterday, which didn't look too harrowing from this side of the computer screen was a wreck, and today, which had us biting our nails seemed smooth sailing to her. :lol3


    Which is probably why she's out there living it and we're where we are. :norton

    I've been keeping track of Jenny's progress here. However, just now was the first time I listened to her update.

    It was really a emotional moment for me...and hell, I don't even know her. We ALL wish we could trade places with her...and to hear her voice made me realize even more, what she must be going through. What a feeling that must be to ride through those thousands of fans...:bow

    LIVE day to day. We're pulling for you. Jim

    From Jenny's comments at the end it sounds like she is angling for the Argentinian Tourist Board sponsorship for next year.............................

    Go Girl - will be following your efforts again today :clap

    It lots of fun following Jenny's progress. Thanks so much for doing this. And Best of Luck! Keep it up and steady!

    That Yamaha Jenny's riding looks like the motorcycle version of a whippet or greyhound. Is it as light and nimble as it looks?

    Congrats on your first post :freaky
    You chose a great thread for it :clap
    Jenny has a complete build of her bike at the beginning of this thread. Looks solid when rubber side down.
