Fun for everyone, kids welcome. No one is left behind or left out, 40-70 people show up each week, weather permitting. In the winter we ride indoors on trainers

Begining in April the girls of PRC will be hosting this no-stop, no-drop ride. It is great for those out to learn the ropes of cycling or as a recovery ride for the faster cats. The ride begins at the Ritual Cafe in downtown Des Moines, travels through Water Works Park, onto the Great Western Trail, loops out towards Maffitt Lake, and then a finish right back where we started.
