Silver City Century
All of the rides on the Iowa Gravel Series are friendly to new and experienced riders; and Silver City is the perfect opener for the season. 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? Not that many… Go say “hi” to Mary at Happy Trails, she’s amazing!
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 season off with a great day in the saddle.
