This is a great opportunity to ride with family and friends
through Prairie Visions country. The communities of LeRoy, Taopi,
Adams and Rose Creek are working together to host this event.
The terrain is flat while you ride past a lake, rivers and streams,
woods and wildlife. Of particular note are wildflowers and
remnant tall grass prairie segments. Of course, you will ride past
farms of corn
and soybean fields and pass through small towns. All routes
also pass near many of the 300' tall wind generators.
All the shorter
rides are great for families with young children to ride together.
Even the smallest riders will be able to pedal successfully on the
new and smooth trail.
