Bicylce Tour in Navasota Tuesday

Thirty women over the age of 50 have embarked on a 3,135-mile bicycle ride across the United States and are stopping to overnight in Navasota on April 8 - 9. They dipped their rear bike wheels in the Pacific Ocean on March 7 in San Diego and expect to finish their trek in St. Augustine, Florida in early May.  They'll be supported by Woman Tours, Inc. - the only all-women bicycle touring company in the country.  

The oldest woman on the tour is 68 years old, but the average age of all the women is 60.  Several of the women are cancer survivors, while others have survived stroke and heart disease.

In this era of American obesity and lack of physical activity, it's heartening to see older Americans undertaking the significant physical challenge, despite their own health limitations. For more information, contact Woman Tours at 800-247-1444 or www.womantours.com
