Lure of the Open Road

I ran across this wonderful account of two women's bike trip in 1944 after graduating college. It was published by one of the two last year. They rode around the eastern portion of the US. I haven't read all of it yet, as I just ran across it, but it looks like a nice bit of history and fun from the 40's.

Along the road that leads the way
We travel as it will
Itself a guidepost good enough
To find both dale and hill.
Our hearts are light, our courage high,
The way is good and broad.
Give a cheer, give a cheer, give a cheer, Rah!
Hurrah for the open road!
