Last year at this time, the 44-year-old mother of two couldn’t sit up straight, let alone get on a bike. At that time, doctors had told the former volleyball coach and RAGBRAI veteran to eliminate all physical activity in order to conserve her strength.
If any of the riders complained during the climb up one of the day’s toughest hills, just east of Quimby, they quit their whining at the top, where Brenda McVinua stood on crutches.
Hopefully riders will “Catch a Tailwind” that will push them into the town of Storm Lake as this will be a stop that you wouldn’t want to miss on the RAGBRAI journey! Storm Lake’s entertainment committee has picked their three bands to perform on the main stage on Sunday, July 25th.
