Perry Area Chamber of Commerce Hosts 36th Annual BRR- Bike Ride to Rippey

INFORMATION

The Perry Area Chamber of Commerce hosts the 36th Annual BRR - Bike Ride to Rippey - Saturday, February 2, 2013. This annual 24-mile round trip bike ride from Perry to Rippey and back, rolls on regardless of the weather.

Known as the "Original WINTER Bike Ride", BRR riders have experienced frigid temperatures and wind chills while plowing through a foot of snow and have also enjoyed spring like temperatures of 60 degrees! Attendance has grown every year with riders and guests attending from all over Iowa and the country.

Hosted by the Perry Area Chamber of Commerce, BRR is a frozen-filled day of biking, prizes and entertainment.

This year’s theme- Groundhog Day Edition was captured brilliantly by avid bicyclist, BRR veteran of 27 years and award winning cartoonist Brian Duffy. The theme is used in promotional materials and on merchandise.

BRR registration, the official start, and other morning activities all take place in beautiful downtown Perry, IA.
