Will finish it after my work is done...

Great touring saga

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.

imperfections, this world would be a desert for our love.

The rest of the site is pretty interesting too. The guy, the grandson, has just about done it all.
I can do five more miles.
