Road

Distance - 22 miles

Yes, Bill Riley was a cyclist AND also called Iowa Falls "home."  As a result, Iowa Falls and the Hardin County Recreational Trails Committee is hosting the Bill Riley Memorial Bike Ride, held in conjunction with Iowa Falls's summer celebration - Riverbend Rally!

Registration is at the Spoken Wheel Cyclery, 420 Washington Street, in Iowa Falls starting at 2:00 p.m.  The ride will start at 3:00 p.m. and consist of a ride on city trails, city streets, and county highways. We will ride from Iowa Falls to Alden and back.  The Westside in Alden will be the half-way meeting location, and will have food and drinks available for purchase.

Route

The 22-mile out-and-back course will start at The Spoken Wheel Cyclery at 420 Washington in Iowa Falls, and continue onto the new Rock Run Creek Trail across Rainbow Bridge, past the aquatic center, over Rock Run Creek on three more bridges, across Highway 65 and continue on the trail to Rock Run Elementary School, onto College Street (1 block), to Siloam Avenue (turns into F-33), west and north to County Line Road (C-73), and south (L) on S-25 into Alden.

Please stay on the marked route – follow the arrows!

The Hardin County Sheriff’s Department has been contacted.  However, this is an “open course,” meaning there will still be traffic on streets and pavement during the course of the ride.
