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.

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

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

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.
