On Our Radar

Captain's Log - November 20th 2024 - Des Moines saw its first snow flurries... Just days before we were riding in short-sleeves. Good 'ol Iowa weather! But... Things around here don't slow down because it is cold...

Here’s a 'Quick 10' of what’s on our minds right now:

  1. RAGBRAI Registration opened
  2. The Iowa Bike Shop Tour planning is in full force with the Iowa Bicycle Coalition (Dec 1-7) - Lots more to come!
  3. Most Global Fat Bike Day and Cranksgivings successfully happened last weekend
  4. Cyclocross season is almost over - the State Championships are Dec 7th in Altoona
  5. The Iowa Bike Expo and RAGBRAI Route Announcement Party are on Jan 25th 2025
  6. We posted our 10,000th News Post on Oct 18th
  7. We want YOUR feedback for the Renegade Cyclocross Practices - 11/29 deadline
  8. We are planning our Fat Bike Racing calendar - Are you?
  9. Planning has begun on the 2025 Pint Night Rides and the Cruiser 100 Ride with Singlespeed Brewing Company.
