Since 2009, the family and friends of Mindy Bruellman
and Chris Gearhart have held an annual bicycle ride. This bike ride has
been dedicated to Mindy Bruellman, daughter of John and Cindy
Bruellman. Mindy, a beautiful 17-year-old girl, was killed along side
her boyfriend Chris Gearhart, son of Glenn and Mary Gearhart, in a car
accident suddenly in August of 2008.
On
the third Saturday of June, the ride starts bright and early in West
Bend, Iowa and tours the beautiful countryside of Northern Iowa. With a
variety of routes, this ride is made for any level of cyclist, from
those wanting to just enjoy themselves to those who are biking
enthusiasts.
Mindy's Miles is meant to be a day where families, friends and complete
strangers can gather and enjoy a wonderful June day. There will be many stops
along the way so you can get off and enjoy what they have to offer. This is not
a race, we encourage people of all ages, riding abilities, and strengths to
participate in this day filled with cycling, socializing, and enjoying what
Northern Iowa has to offer.
