Description

Party Ride

Distance - 6 miles - one way

ONE OF SEVEN

This ride is ONE of SEVEN Fat Tire Rides sponsored by  New Belgium Brewing, the makers of  FAT TIRE BEER, and Iowa Beverage.

We are switching it up this year to give some other bars, trails and businesses some New Belgium Luvin's.

Each ride will have a new Starting point, route and destination. Some rides will have entertainment lined up.

At the end of the Seven Rides we will have ridden on at least 12 different Trails through 16 towns and at least 20 bicycle-friendly establishments and probably met 100 new friends. Now that, my friends, is a good Summer of Ridin' !!

TEAM-UP

We are looking for one ore more bike teams to CO-SPONSOR this ride!

What do we need from you?  We need you and your friends to show up, have fun, drink some New Belgium goodness,  help folks get signed up to win the cruiser, be familiar with and ride the route, help other cyclists get from the starting point to the destination and back, and did we mention... HAVE FUN?!?

Route

NOTE!! ROUTE CHANGE - updated Fri, May 2nd 6:45am!!!

The Latitude 41 at the Sayllorville Lake Marina is NO LONGER the destination.They are having some  difficulties with their POS system. The NEW Route is as follows:

We will be staying within Ankeny for a bar crawl... From the Wheel House Pizzeria & Pub in Ankeny, we go to Good Times Bar, then to Jethros, onward to the new Thunderhead and finally to On The Rocks. We'll have mostly trail, but some city streets. This route is very cruiser friendly!

We Welcome new cyclists to these rides! If you are unfamiliar with the area, the route, etc,. Let us know and we will make sure you get there and back!

The Wheel House Pizzeria & Pub in Ankeny opened last Fall and has been a great quaint place to hang out. They've got great pizzas, local beers, and like to make Moscow Mules. They are ride off the connector trail from the Gay Lea Wilson Trail  that connects to the High Trestle Trail.


Make a weekend of it.  Get a hotel in Ankeny, a camping spot around Saylorville Lake,  stay at the Hammond House B&B in Slater and join us for the Ride!


NOTE:  The map is WRONG !! We will ride 1st street West to Cherry Glenn to the Neil Smith Trail!
