The Third
annual Ankeny Jaycees bike ride is September 19 starting and endig at
Firetrcker in Ankeny. The ride will leave Firetrucker at 10AM and head to
Founder's in Bondurant with free refreshment stop along the route for
registered riders. We'll get back to Firetrucker in time for their annual
Firetrucktoberfest with several Octoberfest-themed festivities including a
polka band, brat eating contest, best Octoberfest themed dressed, and more!
Registered riders receive a free cycling cap commemorating the ride from Primal
along with other goodies.
All proceeds
from the ride will benefit local charities thanks to generous sponsors like IP
Pathways, Bike Country and Kyle's Bikes that help put this ride on. We had a
blast last year and we are looking to have even more fun this year!
UPDATE: all
proceeds will be donated to the Wade Franck Memorial Fund. Wade was an avid
rider and manager at Kyle's Bikes in Ankeny who passed away from injuries
received in a ride earlier this month. If you would like to contribute to his
fund directly you can do so at any Bankers Trust location in the Des Moines
area.
