Margaret joined a local women's group up in Lafayette, Indiana.   Thank you, Molly Cripe Birt, Britt Ann, Lydia Trott and all the #wonderfulwomen of the Wabash River Cycle Club for an incredible evening ride. Thank you for all your hard work getting #morewomenonbikes in the Greater Lafayette area! Keep up the amazing work!

Since 2016, the Wabash River Cycle Club has offered a weekly Women's Ride from May through September. Strong and independent women attend our rides for a variety of reasons: for companionship, for the challenge, for learning new skills, and for building confidence in a judgement-free environment.
