The plan is common to last year's ride. BAGBRAD'ers will meet in the parking lot at the Isle of Capri Casino, Bettendorf, IA, where T-Shirts will be distributed between 9:30-10:30AM to individuals that pre-ordered. There may be extras available for purchase, but everyone is encouraged to order by no later than May 14, 2017 -- use the link at the bottom of the "Shirts" page.
The X-Treme athletes will depart the Casino parking lot via the Mississippi River Trail heading downstream and wind across town to the west side of Davenport. Spectacular river views from the Iowa side of the Mighty Mississippi (look at pics and videos from past rides) will be enjoyed on this monstrous leg of the ride, followed by hours of camaraderie with family and friends. The stops along the ride are relatively unchanged and are identified in the "2017 Venues" page.
Enjoy the ride, smile and laugh along the way. As we are all reminded, life is way too short.
--Cheers!
