After Kristie opened Local Hub Bicycle Company, a full-service bicycle shop in Deep Ellum, she realized when they sent renters to ride on the Santa Fe Trail, there wasn’t signage showing how to get there. So, she signed up to lend her time and experience to help the Friends of Santa Fe Trail make trail improvements. Ever dedicated to increasing ridership along the trail, she led a Tour de Trails in 2018 for more than 100 riders, educating them on how to use the trail system to connect from the Katy Trail to the Santa Fe Trail. Her favorite part of the trail is the butterfly garden (on the south side of the trail, west of Santa Monica) built by Girl Scout Troup 3352. “These girls worked really hard researching then building the garden themselves. The prize was beautiful monarchs flying around that section of the trail.”
