I rode with her for about the same distance a few weeks back when she passed through Vancouver BC. Totally echo your sentiments, she was as nice and genuine as I could have imagined, as well the pace was remarkable for day in - day out huge rides. It was a pace that's pretty sporty for a 200k brevet, let alone 260 - 340km every day for months. Also, being familiar with the full route she rode that day gave me newfound admiration for just how big the daily rides were and how incredibly strong she is.
