Over 100 participants gathered on Saturday morning, April 14th to Hike the Lafitte Corridor. Bike Easy provided bike valet services free of charge and hosted a Bicycle Safety Workshop before the Hike. The weather was beautiful and FOLC Ambassadors were ready to lead their groups through the 3-mile journey headed towards downtown New Orleans. The event ended in Congo Square where hikers were welcomed by Baby Boys Brass Band, fruit and refreshments.

Additional community partners include: American Can Apartments, Bike Easy, Café Treme, Hammond’s Transportation, Joy Ride Bike Rentals, Louisiana Himalaya Association, Massey’s Professional Outfitters, Mid-City Theatre, People United for Armstrong Park, WTUL 91.5 FM, and all individual donations and personal contributions (including the time spent of all our wonderful volunteers).

I was in a tour group led by Mary Beth. She did a wonderful job, and we had a great day of it. Thanks.
