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.
