RAGBRAI here I come!!

Posted Wednesday, February 10, 2010, at 4:34 PM

Well I've submitted an application to be part of RAGBRAI this year. I don't plan to ride the whole thing - just want to ride from Sioux City to Storm Lake, a chance to get my feet wet and get somewhat of an idea of what RAGBRAI is all about. There is no way at this point I could physically ride the entire distance. Their journal will end in Dubuque.

I will keep you posted when I hear more. In the meantime I'm going to get my bike up to snuff. I'm looking for someone to drive me and my bike to Sioux City. I'd also advise them to keep their cell phone handy in case I need to drop out for some reason or am in need of a little encouragement to get me up a hill! :) Drop me an email if you'd be able to help - jnelson@stormlakepilottribune.com

Hey- I grew up in Northcentral Iowa. I attended Iowa State University where I received a B.A. Degree in Journalism and Mass Communication and had an emphasis on Child and Family Studies. I moved to Storm Lake in 2008 to work for the Pilot-Tribune, after working for a daily paper in Nebraska. When I'm not busy typing like a mad woman, peering from behind a camera lens or interviewing all sorts of new and exciting people, you can probably find me rollerblading/biking the paved paths of Storm Lake, strumming out a few notes on my guitar, walking numerous dogs all at once in Newell. I am also a member of Faith Bible, a member of the Shayla Bee family, the SL Kiwanis and a longtime member of the Twizzlers Annonymous Support group. Wink Wink.
