UPCOMING EVENTS
IVBC has developed a ride program to meet the changing needs of cyclists in the Marshalltown area. As more citizens in our community are riding a bicycle, the club feels a need to offer a more diverse ride program. The club will offer rides for Class I and Class II riders. Class I rides will be for individuals who prefer to ride at 15+ mph and a distance of 50 miles or more. Class II rides will be for individuals who prefer to ride at 12+ mph and a distance of up to 30 miles. Class I and II rides will occur on Saturday mornings, (starting times have yet to be determined) beginning at the Y Cultural Center (old Y) and will have a designated ride leader for each ride. The ride leaders will determine a group consensus as to the distance and direction of the ride--mainly determined by the weather pattern for the day. As we move towards summer, the starting times will move to an earlier time. The opposite would be true as we move into the fall riding season. The class you are in will be determined only by yourself depending on how far and how fast you want to ride on any given day.
The club will also offer leisure rides (social rides), which will be about 10+ mph and a distance of approximately 15 miles. These will be family oriented inside the city of Marshalltown. The leisure rides will occur on Thursday evenings and Sunday afternoon with a starting time yet to be determined. A designated ride leader will be predetermined, and riders will again reach group consensus as to the ride route.
NOTE: If you have been selected as ride leader on particular date and cannot meet that obligation, please contact John Eich as soon as possible. TBA means Time to Be Announced--simply means that at the current time, the club does not know when the ride is to begin and will be sent out to club members via email when the time is determined and posted on this web site as well.
