Great touring saga

[JaneE]

Saw a link to this story on bike forums and thought I'd post it. What a wonderful story. :)

They rode their bikes wearing skirts!

Just plain old bikes, nothing fancy. No fancy gear or clothes, whatsoever, for that matter, yet they certainly had the adventure of a lifetime. Considering the times this was quite an accomplishment!

Enjoy. :)

I didn't read all of it, but it is fascinating. I can't imagine doing something like that, but I'm not very adventurous.
Will finish it after my work is done...

Wow, I love reading things like this! I've only gotten through the first couple of days, but look forward to reading the rest later.

The rest of the site is pretty interesting too. The guy, the grandson, has just about done it all.

Thanks for sharing! What courage those young women had! I've only read a little so far, but it's very interesting! :)
