BIKEIOWA wants to help pave the 13 gravel crossings along the Raccoon River Trail.
We have partnered with Mickey's Irish Pub in Waukee, The Raccoon River Trails Association and Dallas County Conservation to ensure we have enough donors to get all 13 gravel crossing paved within the 2013 cycling season. More info.
We love to showcase the trails and what a better way than with our "Trails of Iowa" T-shirt !
We had a special run of T-shirts made that say "I helped pave a trail" on the back.
Most t-shirts are Green with short-sleeves. There is a small inventory of Green long-sleeved and some super-limited Charity-Pink t-shirts.
BIKEIOWA is donating ALL proceeds to the cause. This is one way we can ALL Help 'Pave a Trail' says Scott Sumpter of BIKEIOWA.com.

"Trails of Iowa" T-shirt
This is one Sweet t-Shirt that showcases all the Trails of Iowa! There are 139 trails listed. Paved, Unpaved and Dirt Trails are represented.
Trails are sized according to their mileage and we attempted to
geographically place all Trails according to where they are in the
state.

ADOPT A CROSSING
Your tires are begging you. Help eliminate the gravel crossings in Dallas County on the Raccoon River Valley Trail.
Paving
the crossings will cost about $2,400 each. There are 13 in Dallas
County, so about $31,000 total cost. Two crossing have already been
“adopted”, so that leaves 11 or around $26,000 to be raised.
Put
together a group and adopt your own crossing! Paving will be done summer
of 2013. Donors will have their names listed on signs at their adopted
crossing. Donations are tax deductible and can go to the Raccoon River
Valley Trail Association or Dallas County Conservation. More info.
DONATIONS ARE TAX DEDUCTIBLE

annoying gravel crossings! If you love the feel of pavement gliding
under your tires, donate!
