Welcome back folks Episode 11of the Randonnista Podcast! I’m your host, Laura, and this is the podcast that strives to bring humanity and human stories back to the conversations around bicycles. In today’s episode I have some big news to share as PQ joins me for lots of infrastructure and ride updates in Bike News! For Friends on Bikes eating Dessert we will have Part 1 of a 2 part series about newer bike riders who are taking the dive into racing. Gabby joined me today to talk about her inspiration for move and how training is going, she will also come back at the end of the episode where we play a fun game about some cool cycling facts! And finally for our Deeper Look today, I talked to Meg Cater who talked to me about her journey and growth through cycling to find a community that they felt comfortable in as they explored their beliefs about equity and their gender roles journey.
