Description

Road

Distance - routes range from 24, 40, 50 or 65 miles

The ride itself is one of the most scenic routes in all of north central Iowa. We have four different levels-from a 24 mile ride that is perfect for the novice, all the way up to a challenging 65 mile cross country workout.

Route

All routes start from the YMCA and head out on the beautiful River Road, to the first stop at the old school house, where bananas and drinks are provided. The bikes continue on to Miller & Hayfield where the short route heads due north and on home. The rest of the bikes head on into Crystal Lake where the 40 milers return home as the rest head west for Woden, where a lunch is available in the Woden Cafe for a resonable price. The 50 milers head on in as the 65 milers turn west for Titonka, and back by the Barn on the Bancroft blacktop. All routes are well-marked, paved county blacktops, "If you are on gravel, You're on the wrong road!"
