Shooting Star Trail Bike Ride

 

If you have never ridden in an organized bike ride, this is a great starter for beginners & intermediate riders. 

A T-shirt is included with each regular entry fee. 

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.
