RAGBRAI XLVII Route: Tuesday, July 23 – Winterset to Indianola
- 19 March, 2019
- Jared
The day’s route from Winterset to Indianola will travel a mere 39.9 fun miles and 1,374 feet of climb. The IOWA AG OASIS presented by the IOWA SOYBEAN ASSOCIATION will give riders a chance to hop off their bikes when there is a long stretch between towns to get some water and use a bathroom. Riders will also have an opportunity to learn about agriculture in our great state and taste some of those treats from Iowa! The first AG OASIS will be at Howell’s Greenhouse & Pumpkin Patch, between Winterset and Cumming. Your RAGBRAI wristband required for admission to the AG OASIS.
Tuesday is Parkinson’s Awareness Day on RAGBRAI to highlight that it is possible to live well with Parkinson’s. It was during RAGBRAI that a doctor discovered an amazing way to help people with Parkinson’s. Like many medical breakthroughs, it was a happy accident. The simple act of pedaling a bike can reduce the symptoms of Parkinson’s. This breakthrough eventually reversed the common practice of prescribing rest for Parkinson’s, instead encouraging exercise like cycling.
Tuesday evening in Indianola we will honor Davis Phinney, an Olympic Bronze medalist and Tour de France stage winner, Davis has celebrated the most victories of any cyclist in American history. After being diagnosed with Parkinson’s, Davis established the Davis Phinney Foundation in 2004. The Foundation’s mission to help people with Parkinson’s live well with the disease and fund research projects.
