A section of the original White Pole Road, a river to river route from Davenport to Council Bluffs designated in 1910, also known as the "Great White Way" because all the poles along the route were painted white, as they now are today.
>> OTHER COMMENTS
A nice pre-Ragbrai ride to get in shape and enjoy the small rural communities and scenery along the White Pole Road. Sag wagon available for those who only want to do a one way ride and be brought back to the start in Dexter.
