Giving Back: Lindsey’s was hooked on cycling on her first MS 150 mile bike ride. She started The Ladies Only biking group a little more than two years ago with 11 ladies. These ladies wanted to ride but, they were dropped by the main groups and felt intimidated by the faster riders. The ride is a place where ladies can ride every Saturday and feel welcome. The first year they average 15 riders and now average 23 riders with 50+ ladies wearing The Ladies jersey with an email list of 250. The Ladies 2nd year anniversary will be April 17^th, Here she comes Around the Mountain. For details email LaVerne Lindsay or go to www.bikereg.com.
