All of the rides on the Iowa Gravel Series are friendly to new and experienced riders; but Waukon and Allamakee county might surprise you. Each corner of Iowa is unique, but the “driftless” roads North of Waukon and East of Decorah are some of the best we’ve experienced. Mother nature has created an amazing series of long valleys and steep ridges. But, if you plan it just right (and we think we’ve got something good), you can spend the day exploring all the beauty of the Upper Iowa River and Waterloo river bottoms in the way God intended… on a gravel bike.
Make no mistake, there’s a bit more climbing in Waukon than the Silver City race, but it’s absolutely worth it.
