The League of American Bicyclists recently honored Tennessee in its annual Bicycle Friendly State list. The Volunteer State moved up to No. 26, thanks in no small part to Chattanooga’s hosting the first Tennessee Bike Summit in May and to the work of Bike Walk Tennessee, which promotes and advocates for biking activities statewide. Also, Bicycling Magazine listed Chattanooga No. 27 in its list of the Top 50 Bike-Friendly Cities, ranking the Scenic City above such notable towns as Arlington, Va., and Ann Arbor, Mich.

In May, she completed the 100-mile course in the 3 State, 3 Mountain Challenge, averaging two miles per hour faster than she did last year. She was the oldest participant to complete the challenge.
