Cliff Notes:
After talking with Mark (Guitar Ted) it is apparent to me I am re-configuring the route to be more like the original route.  With that said I took some liberties to keep it a large group capable route.  Two areas of awareness is the roll out out of Vinton north, and the roll into Center Point to a Caseys at Mile 24.  Mile 24 will be the last C-stop on the route, so top off.  Plan on a 45 minute pause for people to facilitate the facilities and re-load.  It is a Truck Stop with a Mickey D's and a Subway.- June 19th:
- River Side Park, Vinton, Iowa
- Time 9am start
- Mile 24 C-Stop Center Point
- Expect a group ride time of 6.5hrs total.
- Post Ride Social: Tootsie Ice cream/Hamburger stand on the NW side of Vinton.
- Group Size Unknown: At Least 3 of us. But I have heard rumblings, so car pool if possible. I am speculating about 30 -50 people.
- No facebook post or event to follow about this. If there is, it is someone else celebrating Mark and that is cool too and I recommend doing both rides.
Today's Post:
Right Now the Route has 2 B-Roads in it.  If it rains a lot, the route allows for a bypass on the fly.
Here is the link to the route:
We will be concluding our ride on the Old Creamery Trail which is a tip of the hat to a Trans Iowa that utilized it.
If you are expecting a big to do, you will be disappointed.  This is literally two dudes going on a ride and hope others tag along.  Maybe Mark feels like a speech, maybe he does not.  I recommend pedaling along side of him and chatting.  
One last thing, there will be a Cemetery stop, and no it is not some glorious cemetery, it is simple and cool.  Worn down limestone tombstones and a few Cedars spaced out.  It is a real early settlement type of place.  That will be about mile 45ish.  
If you need to bail out.  I recommend doing so around mile 38.2 and keep pedaling along 60th to a left on 27th then a right on 61st.  That will take you Vinton in less than 5 miles.  
Cheers and Godspeed
