The 11th Bacoon Ride will include a slight detour to bypass the Raccoon River Valley Trail bridge in Adel that was damaged in a fire.
The bridge is at the heart of the annual 71-mile ride along the Raccoon River Valley Trail. Dallas County Conservation said it will cost about $896,000 to repair the bridge.
The Iowa Bicycle Coalition, which hosts the annual ride set for Saturday, June 14, said in a news release that a detour has been established thanks to a partnership with Dallas County Conservation, the City of Adel, Adel Police Department, the Iowa State Patrol and Iowa DOT to coordinate a detour around the bridge.
