Bike World is providing FULL SAG SUPPORT! Also expect aid stations throughout the ride, lunch at the Iowa Speedway provided, rider photos on Speedway track, cool T-shirts and awesome prize giveaways. Wind down afterward with a complimentary BBQ dinner, plenty of beverages and a live band at the post-party! Leverage being in shape from RAGBRAI one more time before the days get shorter and colder We hope you'll join us!

Route

The main route is approximately 46 miles out and 46 miles back from the Iowa Speedway. While at the Iowa Speedway, you will enter into the infield Here riders will be treated to Jimmy John's sambos, sprots drink, H20, fruit and plenty of other treats. Before you head back, you'll be privelaged to ride a few laps(.9 mile) around the actual speedway track itself. That's right.... you can ride around the Speedway. We'll be taking pictures of you riding as well as in the winner's circle. For the shorter ride(46 miles), riders should be dropped of at the Iowa Speedway and ride back to Des Moines from there.
