Join Story County Conservation, the Iowa Outdoor Alliance of Story County and the Iowa Bicycle Coalition from 8 a.m. to noon on Sept. 19 for Wheels & Wings, a monarch-themed bike ride celebrating the Heart of Iowa Nature Trail and its connections with communities, conservation and cycling across southern Story County.
Pedal through Slater, Huxley, Cambridge, Maxwell and Collins as the trail links these five communities (21 miles one way) into one shared outdoor experience. Ride along a corridor that not only brings people together, but also supports native habitats along the monarch migration route - where prairie, woodlands and farmland create a vibrant landscape for both cyclists and pollinators.
Funds raised from this event will support the Outdoor Alliance of Story County and the Iowa Bicycle Coalition.
Rolling start from 8 a.m. to 9 a.m. will take place in Slater at Heart of Iowa Nature Trail Trailhead and Arboretum. Riders will travel 21 miles east, to the turning point in Collins, then follow the trail west back to Slater. Festivities will take place in each community - plans are still pending, stay tuned for more details.
Registration benefits include: Breakfast at the start of the ride; Themed experience at each stop; Drink specials for registered rider; Live music; Swag Bag; Support to the Outdoor Alliance of Story County and Support to the Iowa Bicycle Coalition.
