This is the MelonHead's Annual Mississippi Trail Ride. A beautiful and paved trail that follows the river. There are stops about every five miles along the route.
Last year, those camping out on Friday night did a impromptu ride to Port Byron and visited several of Port Byron's finest establishments.
This year it will be included as a prologue to Saturday's ride. So if you can get there on Friday nite, set up your tents and head on up to Port Byron (about 5 miles). Just look for the bikes and most likely we will be there!
Bring lights!
No Registration. This is a MelonHead ride and you are free to join us. It costs nothing to ride the trail. Just show up.

Port Byron at NOON, Cordova (maybe), Hampton and Moline. Back to Hampton, then back to camp.
Last stop on Saturday will be Shannon's Bar and Grill. They have new owners, but have been informed about us.
Campsites are only two miles up the trail from this bar.
Camping is available at Fisherman's Corner and Illiniwek Campgrounds between Rapid City and Hampton. They include showers and run about $14 per night for a campsite. See attached map in the flyer section of this notice. Camp sites are right along the trail.
