npr: She left from Berlin, riding east. And on Thursday, she returned to Berlin, riding from the west. In between, Scottish cyclist Jenny Graham rode thousands of miles to become the fastest woman to ride around the world unsupported.It took less than 125 days — just over one-third of a year — for Graham to complete the ride, covering some 18,000 miles on her bike. That lopped nearly three weeks off the old record of 144 days set by Paola Gianotti in 2014.Her official time: “124 Days, 10 hours and less than 50 minutes,” according to filmmaker Mike Webster, who helped document the trip.Jenny Graham Cycles Around The World In Under 125 Days, Shattering RecordPhoto: Christoph Soeder/picture alliance via Getty Image -- source link
