By Katie Frazier | kvia.com

"It’s a no-drop group which means we wait for everyone. It’s a judgment-free zone," said Silvia Polanco, the Vice President of Las Sundays Ride. In addition, ladies will group up according to skill level- beginner, intermediate, and advanced, depending on how many women come out on the ride.

In October, their bike ride was a breast cancer fundraiser. Now, the organization is an …

Day 21: Merryville to Kountze, TX

Tuesday November 15, 2022, 67 miles (108 km) – Total so far: 1,075 miles (1,730 km) Last night before going to bed I decided to check the pressure in my tires – good thing because my rear tire was flat! This flat occurred on the same section between Oberlin and Merryville where I had 5 flats in April and eventually canceled my tour. There is so much debris and shredded tires on the roads in Louisiana it’s hard not to get a flat. If I was going to get a flat, this was a good time to find one. I repaired it inside my nice warm little cabin. Today I road to Kountze. Crossed the boarder into Texas 4 mi outside Merryville. Stopped at a great little cafe in Kirbyville for breakfast. I road faster than I needed, because …

Three of the jumps are now rideable, but not complete. Volunteer this Saturday to help finish building the jumps and fine-tune what gets built. We are able to source large rocks and dirt nearby, but we just need help moving it.https://t.co/5Fd3fccaP4
