If you are a cyclist in the Midwest looking for a party ride, you can’t beat the Rooster Tail ride. 36 miles each way so very doable for most all experience levels. Signups start in January for 2025. #cycling #bikeiowa #iowa #nebraska

Day two featured one of my favorite acts in Malvern. The Polka Police played polka covers of songs ranging from “Gin and Juice” to “Thunderstruck”. Mixing in some crowd participation with the Hokey Pokey and the Chicken Dance makes for a great time. My wife gave them shots of Malort. They had never had it and after drinking it, worked the title of that awful liquor into their songs. Much fun was had. #cycling #bikeiowa #iowa

Unfortunately I didn’t get any pictures of the party in Shenandoah. There was a great cover band called Saucy Jack at the Depot bar and grill. Great party. Featured here is the first bridge stop on day two headed back to Mineola. #cycling #bikeiowa #iowa

Quick stop in Strahan for a break, beer and some guitar. #cycling #bikeiowa #iowa

Second major bridge beer stop. #cycling #bikeiowa #iowa

Second main stop in Malvern IA. Mezzo bar was complete and serving awesome cocktails and cold beers. They have a great outdoor patio right next to the park where the band was playing. #cycling #bikeiowa #iowa

The Wabash trail is very well maintained and a joy to ride. The weather was amazing making for one of the best riding experience ever for a casual ride. #cycling #bikeiowa #iowa

First stop is Silver City with Gas & Grass playing tunes for everyone. #cycling #bikeiowa #iowa
