The Des Moines Cycle Club and the City of Clive are happy to announce a new
event for for all levels of cyclists. Ride'n Green to the Farmers Market is a
weekly ride starting at the Clive Aquatic Center parking lot at 1801 N.W. 114th
St., pedaling down the trail system to the very popular Des Moines Farmer's
Market. A relaxed pace will take us the 12 miles to downtown. We'll start
promptly at 8:00 A.M. so please be ready to ride.
The leader will spend one to two hours at the market and will lead those who
want to return, or if you'd like, return on your own. We plan to park our bikes
around the Polk County building on Court Avenue, there are lots of posts and
trees to lock your bike.
Riding your bike to the market will be great exercise, you'll get a little sun,
and meet other riders in the area. If you're new to the metro, or new to
cycling, Ride'n Green is right for you. You'll also feel great about doing the
ride GREEN. Be sure to wear your DMCC backpack to safely transport all of your
purchases on the return trip. In the future we hope to add other cities to the
ride, we want to see more bikes than cars at the market!
