We'll start and finish at Fox Brewing Co. in West Des Moines, taking rec trails to visit a variety of local parks and restaurant/bars, including Peace Tree, The Blazing Saddle, 515 Brewing Company, and Sully's Irish Pub. Registration starts at 11 a.m., and the ride kicks off at 11:30 a.m.
The full route is about 23 miles but can easily be customized to your energy level. Don't forget to watch for Team Cat and Team Dog donation jars — toss your change into a bucket to prove which species has the most passionate owners!

Furry Friends Refuge is a nonprofit, no-kill, humane shelter with locations in West Des Moines and Des Moines. It has created the only open-admission no-kill community in the Des Moines metro area by accepting every single animal in need in West Des Moines, Clive, and Urbandale, and releasing well over 90 percent of all animals alive.
