The CVNT bridge at McFarlane Park is rebuilt and open! Trail all the way to Shaulis Road.
21 years! This is the 21st year for the Cedar Valley Tour.
Meet at 9:00 am at the Hiawatha Trail Head, i380, Boyson Road exit, 3 blocks east. You can leave your car parked in the lot overnight.
Overnight at The Days Inn (formerly the CrossRoads Heartland Inn). Call 319 235 4461 and ask for the manager "Mr Patel" and tell him you are with the "Cedar Valley Tour" for the discount which is about $20 off the regular rate.
We ride slow! We stop every chance we get. But we do try to get to the motel by 5 pm, clean up and head out for dinner in the neighborhood. Stops usually include Lafayette (no services), Center Point, Urbana, Brandon, La Port City (ice cream!), Gilbertville and a few scenic overlooks along the way.
Distance of the entire CVNT is 52 miles. But we will turn off a few miles before the northern terminus to get to the motel more directly. Follow East Shaulis Road, Cedar Terrace Drive, Texas Street, San Marnin Drive (2 blocks), and La Porte Road (100 ft). This is the back way to the motel that has only 1 block of traffic. Total distance is about 56 miles each day.
This is a Hawkeye Bicycle Association ride. Helmet use is requested.
