What a great weekend for the North Loop Grand Opening!

750 + cyclists, community member and trail lovers made their way to Perry for the Grand Opening Celebration.

Cyclists began showing up around 9 am with a steady stream until past 2pm. At noon Chuck Offenburger, Mike Wallace, keynote speaker Kevin Cooney and a few others spoke before a signage parade and a ribbon cutting.

Cyclists rode by in both directions all day long. The rain held off until around 4 pm when 2 brief showers hit. We stayed dry, and we hope you did too!

Great Times! This loop is another major accomplishment of what Iowa is the Trails Capital of the World!

THANK YOU to ALL the entities involved in making the loop happen!

Here are the photos we took. Click HERE to see them all.
