Party Ride

Distance - ~68 miles

Ride to Des Moines Urban breweries for American Craft Beer Week on the FUBAR ride.  The assault is to see how many breweries one can get to in one day on a bike via the bike trails and a few streets around Des Moines.

You will need to get your punchcard and wristband at Firetrucker Brewery that will get you specials at each brewery to start then you can follow our route or diverge as you tackle this ride..

Hit as many Des Moines Area Breweries as you can in one day on a bike.  We have a ride to hit 9 breweries.  We will have a punch card for the breweries that you stop at.  Stop at at least 7 of them that day and turn in your punch card for a drawing for 2 fun prizes! (1) Keg Party, (2)Free Growler fill

You can register the day of the race by getting to Firetrucker Brewery before you ride at 10 AM until Noon.  
Remember it is free to register and ride but we are taking donations for some bike related charities if you would like to donate.

The ride will start at 10 AM from Firetrucker Brewery and we will ride off hopefully by 11:00.   You can start when you like as this is a large group ride without a mass start.  It for fun and to enjoy American Craft Beer Week.  Relax and have a fine Crafted American Beer.
