I’m Mandee ‘FROSTY’ Ingvalson, rider #1311.
I started riding in May of 2012. I caught the riding bug rather quickly and have never
looked back no matter the weather nor the distance.
My long distance riding really started October 13,2022 when I embarked on my 1st ever
1k in a day. I rode from Minnesota to Texas in a little over 16 hours and 1118.1 miles,
earning my name ‘FROSTY’.
I have an amazing support system in my husband, Chad, who has always been my biggest cheerleader, along with my four kids and five grandkids. Without all of their support, this accomplishment would have been much more difficult. Knowing that they will be watching at home while I embark on this ride gives me more motivation.
As I watched the 2022 Hoka Hey riders start and ride throughout the United States and
then arrive at the finish line after such an enduring and challenging ride I knew this was
something I wanted to set as a goal to complete myself. I’ve always been one to go “I
want to try that” and push myself to be better and stronger and with this challenge I can
achieve those goals. This will be a huge mental and physical challenge for myself and
testing my abilities and a rider.
The charity I’ve chosen to ride for is Mile Monsters Inc. a non-profit I’m extremely
passionate about. I have seen first hand how we can help 7 boys living with Duchenne
Muscular Dystrophy live their best life!
Mile Monsters Inc. is a Non Profit 501c3 which hopes to Inspire and Motivate people to
join us. We ride to make the world a better place. Money raised goes to help children
affected by disease, injuries and circumstances out of their control. The kids we help
need a MONSTER in their corner to help fight the battle with them.
WE ARE CHARITY RIDERS WHO STRIVE TO MOTIVATE AND INSPIRE
