People are thinking it’s the original route for the 50th anniversary. Or something close to it.Hearing Ames this year.
Rumors of Sioux City, Storm Lake, Carroll, Ames, Des Moines, Coralville.
Haven't heard the rest. Again, just a rumor.

One year it was like Clear Lake to Charles City. That was an easy hangover ride.Ames to Des Moines? Back in my day that's how far you rode before breakfast!
I kinda wanna do the full thing this year, not sure I can convince anyone to do it with me so might be a free agent.
Carroll to Ames will be a test.I might try to do a fully solo full route this year. Just figure it out as I go and probably have some good times and some struggles. Having DSM on the route makes it easier to push through if I’m sleeping under the stars for the first half knowing I’ll have a bed and shower when I get there.
I think this makes the most sense. Ames>Slater/Sheldahl>Polk City>Johnston>Drake>Downtown DSM.Carroll to Ames will be a test.
No idea how Ames to DSM will go but if I were riding I'd take South Dakota to Slater and party then ride to Saylorville and hop in that nitrogen filled beautiful bastard off the floating bar.
Shut down the Dam and send them across there. Then get them on NW Beaver then over the interstate on NW 26th St.I think this makes the most sense. Ames>Slater/Sheldahl>Polk City>Johnston>Drake>Downtown DSM.
I don’t know if there is liability with thousands of cyclists going across the bridge over Saylorville but I hope it happens.
