The mountain roads around Donner Lake in California are home to Whitney Hardy. The twists and turns of the roads, still lined with spring snow, are her go-to cycling spots. The sloping downgrades and challenging inclines of Donner Pass Road are now a training ground for the ride of her life.
“It’s challenging and I’m somebody who’s super motivated and inspired by, like, ‘I dare you,'” Hardy said.
Daring. Bold. Brave.
Adjectives don’t scratch the surface of what the Truckee, California, woman is about to take on.
She’s about to embark on a 4,300-mile, cross-country bicycle journey – from the Oregon coast to Boston – eight years after a terrible crash left her with a traumatic brain injury.
Hardy will join the “Stroke Across America” ride along with longtime family friends/team organizer and stroke awareness advocates, Steve Zuckerman and Debra Meyerson.
