Average 180 miles a day. Av speed 18mph.
18,000 miles in 125 days. Unsupported.Jenny Graham is the fastest woman round the world.
The bike she used is a Shand Stooshie - steel frame with carbon fork.Frighteningly fast and persistent cycling - a tough record to surpass!

Comparing to previous entrants. Very impressive.

She must be quite something.

She could wind down with the PBP or LEL Audax. :-)
Cake quality would be better than heading off round the world!

Just been listening to Jenny Graham on Radio Scotland. Lovely to hear the inspiration she's given to pupils at Dingwall Academy and others.
She really got into cycling late. Did the Strathpuffer though which is pretty hardcore event.
Feel bad for not really paying attention till now.Posted 6 years ago # -
Also on Womans Hour Radio 4 this week & repeated on Saturday highlights

Now that's a 38 year old
What's the record for a vet?
Maybe a practice on LEL or PBP....
