Agenda

Evening Bike Ride and REception | Thursday, October 1 | $25

Kick off the Iowa Trails Summit a day early by joining fellow attendees for an evening ride that showcases one of Ames' premier trail destinations—the beautiful Tedesco Environmental Learning Corridor. Surrounded by restored prairie, wetlands, and scenic pathways, Tedesco provides the perfect setting to connect with colleagues before the conference begins. From there, we'll ride together to Torrent Brewing Company for a relaxed networking reception featuring food, drinks, and great conversation before returning to Tedesco to complete the ride. Whether you're reconnecting with old friends or meeting new trail advocates, this is the perfect way to start your Summit experience on two wheels.

Don't feel like riding? You're still invited to join us at Torrent Brewing Company for the networking reception. Whether you arrive by bike or by car, we'd love to have you there. Please note that a ticket is required to attend the reception, regardless of whether you participate in the ride.

Note: Riders who are staying at the Gateway Hotel may shorten the return trip after the reception by riding directly to the hotel. To help build camaraderie and ensure everyone enjoys the full experience together, all participants are encouraged to begin the ride at Tedesco Environmental Learning Corridor.
