Cycling with the Mayor returns in Grand Prairie; next ride June 9
Summary
The city resumed its popular "Cycling with the Mayor" series after spring cancellations. Mayor Ron Jensen led the first ride of the season along the Good Link Trail; organizers say the free program is part of the Get Fit GP initiative and includes walks, runs and health fairs through 2026.
Cycling with the Mayor, a free community fitness series founded by the mayor and run in conjunction with the city's Get Fit GP initiative, resumed in Grand Prairie at CP Wagner Park. Reporter (S2) said Mayor Ron Jensen led the season's first ride along the Good Link Trail that connects Wagner and Mike Lewis Parks on the city's north side.
The program, now in its second decade, is billed as an open invitation for residents of all ages to participate in rides, walks, runs and community health events across Grand Prairie through 2026. "Cycling with the mayor is finally back in Grand Prairie after severe weather prevented it a couple of times earlier this spring," the reporter stated, noting the series also welcomes new recruits. A participant who attended the ride said, "The ride was great." Organizers announced the next ride for Tuesday, June 9, at Alliance Skatepark next to Lone Star Park and directed residents to gptx.org/getfitgp for the full schedule and details.
