BIKEIOWA Note
This will be one of the biggest trail connectors of all time in Central Iowa. We have seen the success of the Raccoon RIver Valley Trail for many years, then the High Trestle Trail opened with the now-famous bridge, then the North Loop of the Raccoon River Valley Trail opened last year. Every one of these trails have been a HUGE success bringing cyclists from all over the nation, getting locals out on the trail and boosting the economy of the small towns on the trails and nearby communities.
We support this initiative 100% and have donated to the cause ourselves. Help make history with your donation too!
