Experience Iowa at its best by riding your bike to the annual Lost Island Lutheran Church Soup Supper Sunday October 22nd. The Church itself is located at 3797 310th St Graettinger, IA 51342. Dinner is four types of home made soup with home made pie, home made bread, and if you are lucky some home made beet pickles; an Iowa church soup supper doesn't get any better than this.
The last mile is gravel but you can make it mostly on pavement if you like. Three suggested routes are below although you can come any way you like; a 20 mile scenic trip from Lost Island Lake, a forty mile gravel round trip from Spencer, IA, and a 60 mile paved round trip from Spirit Lake. With the shorter fall days the best strategy is to arrive at the church early (around 4 PM) so you can eat and make it back in the light..
Start on your own, enjoy the forecast nice weather as you ride your bike to our church, and tuck into a great Iowa Lutheran soup supper!
