BIRMINGHAM, AL (WBRC) - She puts on her gloves, fastens her helmet and straps on her H20. Dianne Tripitelli Davis is gearing up for a 1,132 mile ride to Mexico!
"A year ago, I wasn't a cyclist. I just bought this, I hired Tracy, and I said, lets see if we can do this by my 70th birthday, which was October 9th," said Davis.
The 70-year-old Davis is calling it her "Tour de Lectura" or ride for reading. About 25 years ago, she started doing non-profit work in small community in Mexico. The group has built homes, a clinic, a library and a preschool. With this ride, Davis hopes to raise money for a grammar school.
