I wonder why...maybe because though she set a record,she was not the first to do it solo.

Haven't read other answers - just thought that I'd mention a lady I met this morning. She and her husband celebrated their Ruby wedding anniversary yesterday and in 2 days time they are setting off from London to drive to Bombay (sorry, Mumbai) by motorbike! Again, brave, daft or living your life to the full? She was very organised and quite relaxed about the trip.

The more I think about it, the more surprised I am that she wasn't.
