A shorter Wednesday Night Ride reflecting that it gets dark early. PLEASE BRiNG LIGHTS. We‘re sticking to safe routes, circling Iowa City: Start at Mondo‘s ReUnion Brewery, head east to Iowa River Power, cross the river, stay on Foster Road to Prairie du Chien Road, then south to North Dodge, Scott Boulevard to Highway 6 area, angle over toward McCollister Boulevard, and then loop back along Iowa River Corridor Trails to Mondo‘s. It‘s under 20 miles.
I am the host, Ken Wall. This ride starts at Water Works Park, Iowa City, just off Dubuque Street. The ride route takes us to Solon and retrace to Water Works Park a distance of about 27 miles. There is a bike path to ride to Mahaffey Bridge over the Iowa River, then a paved shoulder to Solon. We will turn around and retrace back to Water Works Park from Solon.

It‘s starting to get dark out by the end of our ride, so we go a little shorter tonight and try to stay on trails rather than streets.
