Freda in the News

Nancy Rice found this photo and caption at the Monroe County (Missouri) Appeal website, dated July 29. Freda Brown, Dick Diebold's wife, is riding self-supported and solo from Schaumburg to Utah.

Seventy year old Schamburg, Ill., resident Freda Brown stopped in Paris to eat breakfast on her way from Chicago to Utah. “It took me eight days to get here,” said Brown. “I will ride today into Columbia for bicycle repairs before continuing on to Utah. Bicycling is the best exercise.”
