To relive the epic ride in 2010 that celebrated my 50th with an "easy" 50 mile ride on the High Trestle Trail.
Starting at 10:00 giving us plenty of time to visit the stops that have grown up along the route.
Why AW SH*T?
Ankeny to Woodward See the High Trestle
AW SH*T I am 5̶0̶-̶s̶o̶m̶e̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ 60-something
AW SH*T I am a proud father
AW SH*T I am a proud grandfather
AW SH*T the SH*Theads are an amazing crew
AW SH*T it's almost winter
AW SH*T last half century of the year

(I am taking additional suggestions)
Start at the Ankeny Market and Pavilion, out to the High Trestle Bridge (and back).
Easy pace, flat terrain, it's for fun.
Multiple potential rest/refreshment stops along the way. How many get used depends on weather and personal interest/need.
Dinner and libations following the ride at a location TBD.
Potential (as needed/wanted/etc) Refreshment Stops:
Ankeny Trail Head (1st Street) - roll out at 10:00.
Rest stop #1/8 - The Oasis (High Trestle Trail rest area) just north of Polk City - it has water, porta-potties and picnic tables with a shelter.
Rest stop #2/7 - Night Hawk Sports Bar Slater
Rest stop #3/6 - Flat Tire Lounge/Madrid Trail Head parking lot at the Highway 17 crossing.
Rest stop #4 - High Trestle Bridge.
Rest stop #5 - Cayannes in Woodward
Nobody is required to ride, you can meet us along the route or at one of the rest stops - or provide weather appropriate drinks at the Oasis or the crossing by the bridge.
