Recap/Results
250 people participated in the first annual Tri-State Trails Tour in Sioux City, Iowa on Saturday May 15th, 2004. 85 of those signed up on the day of the ride. We, the Siouxland Trails Foundation, never expected such a great turn out for this first ever ride. The weather could have been a little better, but this was the middle of May in the state of Iowa. It was cool at about 50 degrees during the ride.
There will be some changes made for next years ride but because the first one was such a big success we plan on hosting another one.
Lot's of thanks go out to our volunteers, sponsors, the law enforcement agencies & everyone else involved that helped make this a great event.
There will be pictures posted soon of the ride so please be patient.

How many places can you think of where, in a few short hours on a spring morning, you can bicycle in three different states??? The most important answer is that it can be done right here in Siouxland, and that most of that bicycle ride can be done on recreational trails, away from the hassle of motorized means of transportation!
