Local bicycling enthusiasts Kathi Weiss, age 73 and Cathie Rowand, 64, hit the trail full speed on May 14th for a 16-day ride to Washington DC. Their 30 plus years of biking together includes velo-tours through much of the Midwest and on both coasts, but this is their longest trip, racking up 753 miles. And they’re raising funds for the Fort Wayne Trail system as they go with a Facebook event called “Kathies’ Big Adventure”. For a first-hand report on how things are going, WBOI’s Julia Meek caught up with the duo by Zoom in Steubenville, Ohio, their half-way point, to discuss the experience as well as the passion that fuels it.
