Mark your calendars bike fans. June 28th we are riding our butts around Bremer County. We’ve talked about it before but this year myself and my friend Sandra (pictured here with the great Fred Thompson) have decided to put together a bike ride for Bremer County.
It has two names kinda sorta. Let’s see if I can explain this right. It’s not an official organized ride, at least not this year, we don’t really know how it will play out. The first name we game up is the UGRAB. The Unofficial Great Bike Ride Around Bremer. It’s a nice respectible name in the event that it would become some “official” ride like several cities and counties have.
However, it has an unofficial name, it’s a sweet name that T-Shirts will be made for. The Great Roll Around Bremer And Summer Social. You got it, folks, the GRABASS. Anyway, the map is below. As you can see it is about a 60 mile route. We will start in Waverly and go through the towns of Denver, Readlyn, Tripoli, Fredericka, Horton, Bremer and back to Waverly. Obviously folks who did not want to do the full 60 miles could stop in any town along the way. There is a two miles section of Highway 63 after Fredericka that I do not recommend anybody ride their bikes on. We will have vehicles, probably Team Punch-n-Pie’s bus to move folks those two miles. If you want to ride 63, be my guest.
The ‘And Summer Social’ part of the GRABASS will take place at my house after the event.
Further details will follow.
