RIDE TO THE RIDE DETAILS

Ride TO the Ride began last year when Boesen The Florist came to the Alzheimer's Association with an idea of Ride TO the Ride.  The idea is that those riders who have registered for the A Ride to Remember event and might be riding from the Des Moines area, might want to ride together as a group.  So, Ride TO the Ride was formed.  This year we have two locations, with our sponsor Ames Ford Lincoln offering their Fort Dodge location as another Ride TO the Ride starting location.  Riders checking in at the Ride TO the Ride locations will not have to check-in at Ames as long as you are PRE-REGISTERED. 

So, this year, there will be two group rides to the main event.  Groups will meet at the following locations and can check in, pick up t-shirt, and "Ride TO the Ride."  When registering, if you will be participating in a group Ride TO the Ride, please select the location you are checking in at. If you will just be checking in at the main event at Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, please select "I will not be participating in a group Ride TO the Ride."

Des Moines - Boesen The Florist - 3422 Beaver Ave, 10:30 am - Noon - View Des Moines Route Map

Don't worry if you just want to ride straight to Ames!  Registration and shirt pick-up will begin there at 1 pm.
