On this episode, I speak with outgoing Virginia Capital Trail Executive Director Cat Anthony as she takes on a new job at VPAP as their Executive Director. For eight years she helmed the foundation that keeps people moving on the multi-use trail and has fought hard to keep its mission going--which in part is to make sure everyone has access to this wonderful trail.

For the second year in a row, I visit Andrew Mann from the Richmond Area Bicyclist Association as he and a team of volunteers start building about 100 kids bikes for the holidays---in all they'll build about 400 or so.

They can use some help too--go here to RABA.
