The org provides the bike, by the way, but they get to keep it at the end. This is no mean feat, judging from the wiki. First of all, it costs $4,000 to participate, so these folks either come from means or they already know how to work hard. Then they stop and build houses on their way.
Remember the young ladies who took off on their bikes in their skirts in the '50s? We old folks worry, but we forget what it was like to not be fully aware of what causes pain like young people are.
