Just came across this video of Kathi Hirzinger Merchant's amazing ride on the Iditarod Trail last winter.
In 2008 she became the first woman to ride the 1,100 mile trail to Nome, and it took a bit over 25 days, including many days (!!) of bike pushing due to
less than ideal conditions.
Plus, the sound track is "Eye of the Tiger", which pretty much nominates it for best video ever, at least in my mind.
They also wrote up the entire trip, it's a great read and it starts here:
