Excellent ride along the Loess Hills of Western Iowa...

Three different routes available, some with GINORMOUS LONG hills to EMBRACE!

All levels of cyclists are welcome, whether they like the easy rolling hills or the BIG ones.

FREE FOOD available at the start of the ride, along the route, and at the end -- all you could possibly eat (and burn off on the hills!)

Camping is available in the area:
    Loess Hills Hideaway Cabins http://www.loesshillshideaway.com/  (402)551-0690
    Willow Lake Recreation Area http://www.mycountyparks.com/County/Harrison/Park/Willow-Lake-Recreation-Area/Facilities.aspx  

** The MAP that pops up for 609 Mulberry, Mondamin, is incorrect, so if you use that map, just go 2 more blocks SOUTH, like you are heading out into the cornfields. That's where the start is -- at Mondamin Baptist Church. **

Route

Starts in Mondamin, Iowa -- three different route options, all starting at Mondamin Baptist Church...

1)   29-mile loop through Pisgah, Little Sioux, River Sioux, and back to Mondamin -- 600 feet of climbing
