Meet at what used to be Hills Elementary School, just east of the 4-way stop. We ride east out of Hills, then south and east toward Lone Tree. A very pleasurable ride—few hills, a couple of great vistas once we get south of Highway 22, and that nice wide paved shoulder the last four or five miles on a gentle downhill slope back to Hills. Dinner at Hwy 218 Bar and Grill in Hills. About 27 miles. Remember to bring lights.

When we ride clockwise on the Sugar Bottom Loop, heading north and east out of North Liberty, the hills are not so tough. Or so it seems. It‘s a good ride for this point in our conditioning as we work our way toward RAGBRAI.

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.

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

Wed, Sep 17, 2025 at 6:00 PM
From Iowa River Landing EAST Parking Lot, we cross two dams, on a shorter ride, because it‘s starting to get dark this time of year.

We end the season with a short ride down to Hills and back to account for darkness this time of year. Start at Iowa City Bike Library, 1222 S Gilbert Ct.
