Wheels & Wings Bike Ride

Join Story County Conservation, the Iowa Outdoor Alliance of Story County, and the Iowa Bicycle Coalition for the Wheels & Wings Ride, a monarch-themed bike ride celebrating the Heart of Iowa Nature Trail and its connections with communities, conservation, and cycling across southern Story County.

Registration is available via Eventbrite.

Rolling start from 8 – 9 AM from Main Street in Slater.

Pedal through Slater, Huxley, Cambridge, Maxwell, and Collins as the trail links these five communities (21 miles one way) into one shared outdoor experience. Ride along a corridor that not only brings people together but also supports native habitats along the monarch migration route – where prairie, woodlands, and farmland create a vibrant landscape for both cyclists and pollinators.

Riders will travel 21 miles east, to the turning point in Collins, then follow the trail west back to Slater. Registration takes place via Eventbrite! Registered riders can expect light snacks and refreshments, themed stops in each community, and ride swag.

Funds raised from this event will support the Outdoor Alliance of Story County and the Iowa Bicycle Coalition.
