Record-breaker - "In 1967, she set a new 12-hour time trial record of 277.25 miles – a mark that also surpassed the men’s record of the time by 5.75 miles." I suspect that this achievement, of a woman beating a men's record in a sport requiring physical strength and endurance, is unique. If anyone can confirm this then I think more emphasis should be put on this incredible feat. EdX20 00:34, 6 October 2006 (UTC)
