Description

Road

Distance - 20

On Monday evenings, between the start of Daylight Saving and Labor Day, join the Men and Women of Rassy's Bike Shop and Velorosa for one of two NO DROP rides. If it's dry, and the daytime high gets above 50 degrees, the ride is on. Stay tuned to this group if the weather is questionable. Road: A low traffic road loop near Walnut Woods Park and along Moffitt Lake Road. Multiple designated regroup points, and a sweeper or two to ensure no one is left behind. This 21 mile road ride leaves from bike trail lot behind Orlondo's on Park Ave at 6pm. Minimum speed of 14mph and a maximum of 17 mph on the flat sections. Dirt: If the weather AND trails are dry, CITA joins us for a fun, flat mountain bike ride! It's a fantastic opportunity to learn your way around "back there" and explore the green heart of urban Des Moines. - Dirt capable bike and helmet required. - All skill levels are welcome. - The riders will wait and re-group at the end of each trail segment. - Total ride time of around 90 minutes.  

We regroup at the end for an option.

Route
