Iowa Gravel Series

The season starts off in Silver City Iowa

All of the rides on the Iowa Gravel Series are friendly to new and experienced riders; and Silver City is again the perfect introduction for 2022. Not too hilly, not too flat, a few surprises, and an amazing community that loves cyclists and welcomes them everyday on the Wabash Trace. Not only that, but how many Iowa towns with a population of 250 people have a bike shop (go say “hi” to Mary at Happy Trails, she’s amazing)?!? Not that many…

We think Silver City is pretty special and we know you’re going to love the roads. So, come ride with us and start the 2022 season off with a great day in the saddle.
