GREAT RIDE, despite the near 50-mph cross-winds on Saturday... WE ENDURED... Whatever doesn''t kill us makes us stronger!!!

Description

Party Ride

Distance - 53 miles both ways

This is the Green Belt Bikers' 6th annual trek from the scenic city of Iowa Falls to the beautiful shores of Clear Lake, Iowa. Your day will be full of whatever you make of it -- to include biking, socializing, dining,grilling, and FUN! We have booked rooms at the courtyard of the Hilltop Motel, which puts us across the street from the Surf Ballroom and within walking distance to many eateries and establishments. You are responsible to book your own accommodations, but you are welcome to hang out with us in the courtyard. Other hotel options in the immediate area include the Lighthouse Court and the Lakeshore (contact number for these hotels is 641-357-5237). Some riders will elect to ride up to Clear Lake and not stay overnight, some will elect to stay overnight and not cycle back to Iowa Falls, and others will elect to cycle back to Iowa Falls the next day. The ride is truly what you make of it! On Sunday morning we will start with breakfast in Clear Lake and then reverse our route back to the Scenic City of Iowa Falls.
