Ragbrai 2018 overnights in my hometown so I'll be spending a few days at Mom's July 22-28. Checked the events calendar and don't see anything in IA in July. Was just curious if there's any gravel rides or events going on in central Iowa that week.
Will be staying in Newton, would love to crush rocks with some locals. I generally know the roads but it's been years. Any routes to share around Newton where I wont be chased by dogs? I know, I know...there's so much gravel, just pick a direction and go right?
Thinking about a Newton to Ira to rail trail to Baxter and back. Grandparents old farmstead is out near Ira.
