Women Who Dare

Kerry Gross wanted more stories of inspiring women. So, she decided to ride her bike from California to Maine in search of women who inspire others. The Women Who Dare podcast tells the story of Kerry’s 5,700-mile bike ride and features her interviews with remarkable women.

Kerry met up with Lora after leaving Pittsburgh and heading Southeast along the Great Allegheny Passage to the trail town of Connellsville. They grabbed a bite to eat from inside the local Polish Club and enjoyed dinner at a picnic table next to the shelters that are free for trail users. Listen to the podcast episode featuring Kerry's interview with Lora on Women Who Dare.
