I believe some of you have read her cycling books. I think this obit nicely sums up the second part of her adventurous life:

Thx for this note for us. I have and read 2 of her bks. She certainly lived an inspiring life with adventure, zest and giving.
Makes one wonder how Dervla Murphy is doin', another intrepid older woman cyclist-writer from Ireland. I'm also a fan of her cycling touring bks. She must be close to 80 or so by now.
Both ladies do intelligent, useful research for their cycling touring books which is great fun learning also.Last edited by shootingstar; 03-03-2010 at 07:52 PM.

Thanks for the link Grog.
Sounds like she had some amazing adventures.The most effective way to do it, is to do it.

Wow! Thank you so much for posting about her. I hadn't heard her name before today, but I certainly want to read her books.

I ordered two of her books from Amazon today. I would be glad to pass them on when I am finished if anyone is interested.
