If you've packed your fat tires and find yourself in Iowa this weekend, why not head to the 2012 Midwest MTB Fest, put on by the Quad Cities Friends of Off Road Cycling?
The weekend of June 22-24, 2012, in the beautiful woods of eastern Iowa, hundreds of knobbies will gather to ride bikes, talk bikes, play games on bikes, and drink beer while standing next to bikes. The festival home is Scott County Park; thanks to our sweet singletrack (10+ miles), but also because of the beautiful camping accommodations and additional attractions (oh, did we forget to mention the swimming pool, golf course, playgrounds, showers, pavilions and full restrooms?! Our bad!)Sounds like a blast! If only we were better at the whole bumpy riding thing. Um, at the very least, we'd be delighted to show up for the "beer potluck" afterward. Now that's an outdoor activity we can excel at!
