Little 500 First-Timers
Spoiler alert: Lexie Parkins and Wenlu She did not win the Little 500 bike race this year. For both women it was their first time competing in Little Five. What possesses someone who has never raced a bike before to compete in the most famous bicycle race of them all? For Parkins and She it was more about the journey than the destination. Correspondent Morgan Rusk follows their experience on and off the track in a feature report produced in partnership with The Media School at Indiana University.
