Recap/Results

This year's ride was 32 degrees and cloudy...Freezing nose drips, but no snow. 

Despite the cold,  we still had a wonderful turnout of riders from all across the Des Moines Metro! 

New this year, we offered t-shirts covered by Bondurant Chamber of Commerce businesses. Al

so, the warming station at the halfway point was held at Mally Park in Berwick offering a gazebo and outdoor heater with refreshments. Needless to say, it was MUCH needed, but wasn't enough to keep the riders in one place too long! 

This ride could not go off without the help of Reclaimed Rails Brewing Company, and Founder's Irish Pub in Bondurant. A big thanks to everyone who braved the elements and came out and enjoyed the Chichaqua Valley Trail!
