Join CITA (Central Iowa Trail Association), Rassy's and Velorosa for a dirt tour of Center Trails.
It's a fantastic opportunity to learn your way around "back there" and explore the green heart of urban Des Moines.
Ride is dependent on trail conditions. We only ride dirt. No muddy/wet trails. In the event trail conditions won't let us ride, we'd encourage you to join the road edition!
- Meet at Orlondo's on Park Ave for a 6pm depart (same place road group leaves from)
- Ride over and do a loop of Center Trails (J-11, Denman's, and other river trails pending conditions)
- Hillside and Rollercoaster may be ridden depending on the whim of the group
- Hang out afterwards for beers and whatevers.
- Dirt capable bike and helmet required.
- All skill levels are welcome.
- The riders will wait and re-group at the end of each trail segment
- Avg speed is ~7-10mph
- To meet our time/pace, we may opt to not ride a trail segment.
- Sweeper will make sure that no one is left behind
- Depending on the mood of the group, we may hit the trails clockwise or counterclockwise to mix things up.
