Her most remarkable achievement came in 1975, when she became the first person, man or woman, to complete the Baja 500 race solo.

Mary McGee, a risk-loving motorcycle rider who was often the only woman on the tracks she raced on — and certainly the only one wearing a pink polka-dot helmet — died on Nov. 27 at her home in Gardnerville, Nev. She was 87.
