Des Moines, IA Cyclo de Mayo is back for another fantastic year! Des Moines' most exciting bicycle poker run will again take participants through a series of secret checkpoints all over the city of Des Moines. The first stop will be revealed at the starting line. Race officials will deal cards to each participant at every checkpoint. Use the cards to build the best poker hand you can. There will be awesome door prizes for the best poker hands and trophies for the fastest finishers in several categories. Check out last year's photos

START/FINISH

Cyclo de Mayo takes place on Saturday May 15th. Riders will hit the road at 12:34pm sharp, so get to Shorty's before noon to finalize your registration and get to the starting line, which will also be at Shorty's. El Bait Shop marks the location of the finish line and the awards ceremony (which will be much shorter this time), and, I hope, live music from Dave Bess of Public Property.

SAFETY VEST

This was last year's vest. A great lightweight mesh vest. Great to keep with ya at all times!
