'BACooN Ride 4'

[wrongway]

Anyone from Iowa here ever been on this ride the last three years? Looks like I've talked myself into trying it this year. It takes place on the Raccoon River Valley trail and is 71 miles of various bacon treats! The only thing I have to ride is one of my old British three speeds. Hoping that will suffice. Just wondering if anyone else has tried it and what to expect.

Is it a 71 mile Ride?
Bacon is Awesome!

Yes, 71 miles. It goes in a loop so you get back to your car. Starts early in the morning and goes till you make it back.....or pass out! I'm hoping I'm up for it. Since I'll be on a heavy old bike does that make 71 miles count as a 'Century Ride'? lol

It sounds fun and Tasty!
You should work up to it though.
I remember my 1st few 40+ mile rides. I got home a lil' Saddle sore....

Continuing to wonder......would more speeds (10 or 12 or..) mean faster, more effortless traveling? Starting to rethink this.
