High Trestle Trail Full Moon Ride -- Madrid, Iowa

This is part 3 of a 4-part weekend trip to ride a couple of trails in Central Iowa.

Part 1: Great Western Trail (West Des Moines to Cumming)
Part 2: High Trestle Trail (Slater to Oasis and then Slater to Woodward)
Part 3: High Trestle Trail Full Moon Ride (Madrid to the Trestle Bridge) 
Part 4: High Trestle Trail (Ankeny to Oasis)

Anniversary Weekend

Day 2, Saturday evening:

We rode 43 miles today in 3 separate rides (11 miles, then 26 miles, then 6 miles in the dark for the Full Moon Ride).  

This night ride is an event you should make sure to experience.  If you are bucket-listing the High Trestle Trail, go one step further and make sure you are there for one of the Full Moon rides. You won't regret it! 

Before the Full Moon ride, we ate supper at a BBQ restaurant in Madrid

It had a cool bike rack outside that mimicked the High Trestle Bridge.

Neat bike decor in the restaurant. The town really embraces the trail & the traffic it brings to their businesses.
